Facebook announced yesterday it was buying California-based cybersecurity startup PrivateCore, in a move to boost defenses of its vast server network.
“I believe that PrivateCore´s technology and expertise will help support Facebook´s mission to help make the world more open and connected, in a secure and trusted way,” Facebook´s Joe Sullivan said.
“Over time, we plan to deploy PrivateCore´s technology directly into the Facebook server stack.”
PrivateCore was launched in 2012 in Palo Alto and specializes in protecting servers against malware and other kinds of intrusions.)
