Mira Security acquired by Darktrace

Driven by the widespread adoption of encrypted network protocols and stringent regulatory requirements, the transaction sees Darktrace, a cybersecurity company backed by private equity firm Thoma Bravo, complete the strategic acquisition of Mira Security. This corporate combination builds upon an established technological partnership between both organizations and aligns with an ongoing expansion program that previously included the acquisition of cloud security specialist Cado Security. The transaction aims to embed Mira Security's inline decryption and traffic visibility capabilities into the Darktrace Network platform, providing enterprise clients across regulated verticals such as financial services, government entities, and critical infrastructure with comprehensive data inspection across hybrid and cloud infrastructures. Operationally, Mira Security's engineering talent located in Centurion, South Africa, and the United States will integrate into Darktrace's global research and development division, contributing specialized engineering expertise in low-level networking firmware, protocol architecture, and hardware acceleration interfaces capable of handling large-scale data ingestion. This transaction allows Darktrace to supply richer contextual data to its core artificial intelligence analysis engines while maintaining ongoing operational support for Mira Security's existing partner ecosystem and international customer accounts.
