Google announces it will buy Mandiant

There were allegations that the two companies had been in talks for a while and that the talks would be made official soon. This has been officially confirmed recently, and Google has officially announced that it will buy the famous cybersecurity firm Mandiant.

Google will pay $5.4 billion to acquire Mandiant. Thus, the company will have paid $ 23 for each share. Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian, who made a statement on the subject, used the following statements;

Hackers, who previously targeted only governments, have now turned their focus to companies operating around the world. Therefore, we are faced with an unprecedented cybersecurity challenge.

We look forward to hosting Mandiant on Google Cloud to further enhance our security suite and advisory services and take our customers’ security to the next level.

The agreement between the two companies has been completed. Let’s say that as of now, the ball is in the regulatory bodies. If there is an approval here, Google will make the second biggest purchase after buying Motorola for 12.5 billion dollars in 2012.
