Cybersecurity automation platform Revelstoke has been acquired by Arctic Wolf

Bob Kruse, the co-founder and CEO of Revelstoke, will join the company's product-line sales team.

An unspecified sum will be paid by Arctic Wolf, a cybersecurity firm that has raised hundreds of millions of dollars in debt and equity, to purchase Revelstoke, a firm building a security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) platform. Arctic Wolf's chief product officer, Dan Schiappa, wrote in a blog post that the acquisition will make it possible for the company's platform to identify and counter cybersecurity incidents "faster" and "more thoroughly" than previously. Schiappa sees Revelstoke's products as a complement to Arctic Wolf's flagship software, which gathers information from a company's endpoints, cloud environments, and networks to deliver a unified view of potential risks.

According to Schiappa on Arctic Wolf's blog, "We're improving our detection and response capabilities with tailored response actions at scale, while our customers will directly reap the benefits of the technology without having to purchase new modules." Arctic Wolf will now be able to offer customers the cutting-edge technology and in-depth security operations knowledge required to make SOAR outcomes essentially turnkey thanks to the integration of Revelstoke's platform into [Arctic Wolf]. It wasn't immediately clear whether all of Revelstoke's crew will join Arctic Wolf or just a section of them. Later, an Arctic Wolf representative told TechCrunch that 30 Revelstoke employees will join Arctic Wolf and that Bob Kruse, the co-founder and CEO of Revelstoke, will join the company's product-line sales team.
