Fastly entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Signal Sciences for approximately $775 million in cash and stock.
The acquisition will expand Fastly’s security portfolio through developer-first web applications and API protection solutions, according to the company.
“Fastly was founded to meet developers’ need for greater visibility and control. Now, as the digital transformation movement continues to accelerate, DevOps teams are struggling with inadequate and inflexible security tools,” said Joshua Bixby, the CEO of Fastly. “Together with Signal Sciences, we will give developers modern security tools designed for the way they work.”
LDRA launches Secure Software Development Resource Centre
The new Secure Software Development Resource Centre is an online portal that guides developers through the phases of the SDLC, including requirements, design, model, code, and verification whether developers are using traditional V-model, waterfall life cycle, or an Agile approach.
“The security resources at our new portal are designed to help companies learn how to build security into their software from the beginning, because attempting to bolt on security after the fact is costly and error prone,” said Ian Hennell, the LDRA operations director. “Preventing vulnerabilities from entering the code during construction cost-effectively addresses the accelerating security requirements of connected devices and systems.”
