In the wake of acquiring Fireglass a couple of days ago, software company Symantec announced today that it has acquired yet another security startup, Skycure. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Skycure is a predictive mobile threat defense (MTD) company with proactive defense solutions that detect and prevent mobile cyberattacks while preserving user privacy and experience and reducing the burden on IT.

Skycure’s patented technology employs a dual protection mechanism, consisting of a client-side module that resides on the device and protects it 24/7 together with a server-side service that provides heavy lifting analysis. Its predictive technology (sometimes referred to as “Waze” of mobile security) is based on mobile threat intelligence gathered via massive crowd intelligence and sophisticated machine learning.
