Check Point Software Technologies has purchased early-stage security vendor Cymplify to defend IoT devices against highly-sophisticated attacks by hardening and protecting the devices’ firmware.
The San Carlos, Calif.-based platform security vendor said its acquisition of Tel Aviv, Israel-based Cymplify will help harden and protect everything from IP cameras and smart TVs to elevator controllers and medical devices against advanced zero-day attacks.
“What the partners are excited about is many of them have already started on IoT, so many of them are ahead of the vendors,” said Frank Rauch, Check Point’s head of worldwide channel sales. “Now, with Cymplify, we start to complete the picture.”
