Which Strategic Investors Joined LevelBlue Following the Cybereason Deal?
As part of the deal’s closing, LevelBlue has secured strategic investment from SoftBank Corp., SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and Liberty Strategic Capital.
Steven Mnuchin, managing partner of Liberty Strategic Capital and former secretary of the Treasury, will serve on LevelBlue’s board.
“The completion of this acquisition brings together unmatched XDR, MDR, and DFIR capabilities, powered by AI and elite human expertise, to deliver the most unified and proactive cybersecurity experience in the market. Our shared goal is to help clients move beyond reactive defense to achieve true cyber resilience,” said Bob McCullen, chairman and CEO of LevelBlue.
How Does the Cybereason Acquisition Boost LevelBlue’s Security Capabilities?
The acquisition strengthens LevelBlue’s endpoint security by integrating Cybereason’s XDR capabilities with Trustwave’s MDR offering.
LevelBlue will also leverage Cybereason’s presence in Japan to expand its regional delivery capabilities and global footprint. In addition, the company plans to combine Cybereason’s artificial intelligence innovations with LevelBlue’s proprietary agentic AI to further advance its technology stack.
The deal is expected to enhance client visibility into threat actors and deliver more actionable insights by merging Cybereason’s research team with LevelBlue SpiderLabs.
