… rich joint ecosystem of customers and partners including MSPs, MDRs and VARs, to help address the challenges of development, operations and security teams from a single continuous intelligence platform,” he said.
Partners can embed Sumo Logic’s existing security solutions and a leading SOAR solution into their managed services offerings, Martin said. That will increase reliability, deliver more value and improve customer experience.
The addition of DFLabs to the Sumo Logic Continuous Intelligence Platform will give customers of varying sizes and maturities cloud-native security intelligence solutions built for digital businesses that leverage modern applications, architectures and multicloud infrastructures.
Sumo Logic customers and partners will see as much as 10 times improvement in SecOps productivity when implementing the DFLabs SOAR offerings, Martin said.
As part of Sumo Logic’s Continuous Intelligence Platform, the company will expand its security intelligence portfolio with the launch of the Sumo Logic SOAR solution. It should be available shortly after the closing of the transaction.
Sumo Logic SOAR will join the company’s Cloud SIEM offering as part of the Sumo Logic security intelligence suite of offerings including security analytics and security compliance.
“DFLabs’ partners will continue to benefit from the product they’ve been utilizing, but also gain access to a best-in-class, cloud-native security operations solution anchored by Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM to investigate and respond to threats faster while improving SecOps productivity,” Martin said.
DFLabs will fully integrate into the Sumo Logic’s portfolio, brand and structure.
Snyk Closes $300 Million in New Funding
Snyk, a cloud-native application security provider, has closed a Series E financing totaling $300 million. The company has now raised $470 million to date.
Accel and Tiger Global led the funding round. This investment allows Snyk to meet global demand for the company’s security platform.
Peter McKay is Snyk‘s CEO.
“Snyk started very early with the investment in the channel across Europe,” he said. “With this recent round of funding, we will be increasing our investments into the Snyk partner community, including headcount, margins and additional channel-specific incentives. [This] will be a big year for channel partners looking to be part of the intersection of massive digital transitions and cybersecurity.”
Snyk’s channel partners are critical to growing the company’s business to meet global demand for its platform McKay said.
“As the application security market shifts left, or moving security checking earlier in the software development process, channel partners will also shift their focus to servicing the developer, DevOps, DevSecOps persona,” he said. “If they stay focused on selling legacy tools to and for security, they will also become a legacy partner.
