Wholepoint’s technology will provide proactive signature-less threat detection and admission control over endpoints. Officials say it will easily work alongside Mirage’s solution via a common address resolution protocol (ARP).
In addition to detecting and containing malicious traffic from an endpoint on the internal network, we’ll be able to proactively determine whether that endpoint should be allowed to connect in the first place, said Toney Jennings, CEO of Austin, Teaxs-based Mirage.
Founded in 2000, Mirage claims to have developed the first so-called out-of-band network security appliance – called CounterPoint – designed specifically to protect internal networks. The system isolates malicious traffic without impacting network performance.
Around 10 Wholepoint employees will relocate to Mirage’s offices in Austin.
Mirage recently closed a $13 million series B round of funding this summer – bringing its total funding to $21 million.
