Imperva announces acquisition of anti-bot security startup Distil Networks

While four major players in the digital security industry swapped hands recently, it seems that the trend is not over yet - Imperva, CDN company, has announced the acquisition of bot mitigation startup Distil Networks for an undisclosed amount.

Imperva CTO Kunal Anand says his company had a narrow bot capability, but was looking to bring a more complete solution to the platform and Distil fit the bill nicely.

“When we looked at all of these different variables, and when we looked at the capabilities and the presence that they have in the market, the leadership with analysts, it felt like a no-brainer for us. And once we got to know the team, Rami, and all the folks at Distil, we thought it would be a great pairing to combine these companies,” he explained.

Distil Networks chief product and strategy officer and co-founder Rami Essaid says the paperwork to seal the deal was signed just yesterday.
