Palo Alto Networks Eyes $400M Acquisition of Koi Security

Palo Alto Networks is reportedly in advanced talks to acquire Israel-based Koi Security for approximately $400M, aiming to bolster its AI-driven capabilities across developer ecosystems like VS Code Marketplace, browser extensions, NPM, and Homebrew by detecting malicious code and vulnerabilities before supply chain compromises spread. The move would strengthen Palo Alto’s endpoint and cloud security coverage throughout the software development lifecycle, signal renewed confidence in Israeli cyber startups, and follow its larger expansion strategy, while a separate note highlights a surge in cyberattacks on Taiwan linked to Chinese cyber forces.
