Plume has acquired Walleye Networks, a Canadian network and security intelligence products provider specialising in real-time network analytics and advanced metadata. The transaction includes all of Walleye Networks’ intellectual property, technology and R&D facility, in addition to its engineering team. Plume said it intends to invest in Walleye Networks’ R&D centre, which provides access to technical talent in the British Columbia region.
The acquisition expands Plume’s expertise in key technical areas including domain name system (DNS) infrastructure, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) detection, network behavior anomaly detection (NBAD), application performance management (APM), privacy analytics and management, and intelligent edge processing at scale. No financial details of the takeover were disclosed.
Walleye Networks’ network and security intelligence platforms run on OpenSync, the open-source framework for the smart home created by Plume and Samsung. OpenSync was launched in October 2018 and is now present in over 15 million access points and devices, managing over half a billion clients.
