Zscaler's Buyout of Red Canary Shows Telemetry's Value

Zscaler announced it will acquire managed-detection-and-response provider Red Canary, a move analysts say supplies valuable endpoint telemetry to enhance Zscaler's AI-powered SOC ambitions and complement its SASE/zero-trust offerings. The deal, combined with Zscaler's prior Avalor acquisition, is expected to improve security data management and analytics for SecOps, though integration and competitive MDR market dynamics present challenges.
