a 3rd Israeli exit in a month: Mimecast acquired Israeli start-up Solebit

Mimecast which specializes in information security, announced that it has acquired Israeli start-up Solebit. The market estimates that the American company paid $ 88 million for Solbit for $ 88 million in cash. This is the third exit this month, after the deals in Daturma and Redkix.
Solbit develops a platform that helps organizations deal with hackers and other cybercriminals using automated security solutions that prevent hacking into the organization. This is done by blocking the malicious code before it attacks the organization. Mimecast Limited announced that it has acquired Solbit, after its capabilities have already been incorporated into the company's products.
The current acquisition joins the acquisition of the US cyber security platform Ataata, for an undisclosed sum. Solbit introduced capabilities that enable its customers to detect threats through a different approach: identifying malicious codes embedded in active content and information files, and providing insight into its findings.
"Attackers still have an advantage, especially in Zero Day attacks, despite the many investments in security solutions," said Boris Weinberg, CEO and founder of Solebit.
Founded in 2014 by Manny Farjun, Yossi Sara and Boris Weinberg, Solit has raised $ 13 million in two rounds. The company has 35 employees. It will maintain the existing structure and become Mimecast's Israeli development center. Established in 2003, Mimecast provides security, archiving and cloud services to protect email communications and provide enterprise risk management systems.
