ARMONK, N.Y., Nov. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — IBM (NYSE: IBM) Security today announced an expansion of its cybersecurity threat detection and response capabilities with its plans to acquire ReaQta.

Upon closing, ReaQta’s offerings will become part of this portfolio, adding expanded native XDR capabilities to IBM’s security portfolio aimed at helping clients adopt continuous monitoring and rapid response as part of a zero trust approach.
