Artificial intelligence and human cyber resilience platform company Deepwatch Inc. today announced that it has acquired security intelligence solutions startup Dassana Inc. for an undisclosed price.

Founded in 2020, Dassana specializes in transforming complex security data into actionable insights. The company offers solutions that it says aggregate and normalize data from various security tools, allowing enterprises to gain real-time visibility into their security posture and to gain expedited remediation and enhanced effectiveness of security controls.

One of the company’s key offerings, CISO Copilot, assists chief information security officers in automating evidence collection for compliance, allocating resources based on business impact and accessing real-time, board-level metrics. The tool addresses the manual and time-consuming aspects of security management, allowing leaders to make informed, data-driven decisions efficiently.

Dassana’s platform is built to integrate with existing security infrastructures and breaks down data silos to provide a unified view of an organization’s security environment. The platform leverages advanced analytics and machine learning to contextualize security data, helping teams prioritize threats and streamline operations. The holistic approach not only improves threat detection and response times but also enhances overall cyber resilience.

Deepwatch plans to integrate Dassana’s AI-powered risk and threat exposure management technology into its platform, allowing it to harvest vital threat insights that further enhance the productivity of its customers’ security teams and help keep their critical information assets secure.

“This acquisition marks an incredible opportunity for our customers to access emerging AI capabilities together with unequaled human expertise that in the past would have only been available to a privileged few,” said Deepwatch Chief Executive John DiLullo. The integration of Dassana’s technology into the Deepwatch Platform will also allow CISOs and security leaders to get real-time insights into their security posture, he added.

Coming into its acquisition, Dassana had raised $5 million in funding in one round, according to Tracxn. Investors included Dell Technologies Capital, Jon Oringer and Anand Banu Periasamy.

Deepwatch is also venture capital-backed, having raised $256 million over three rounds, including a round of $180 million in February 2023. Investors in Deepwatch include Springcoast Capital Partners, Splunk Ventures, Vista Credit Partners, ABS Capital Partners Inc. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
