LevelBlue, a pure-play managed security services company, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire cybersecurity firm Cybereason.
LevelBlue said Tuesday the acquisition aims to strengthen its pure-play MSSP technology by incorporating Cybereason’s advanced extended detection and response platform, digital forensics and incident response capabilities and threat intelligence expertise.
“By combining Cybereason’s world-class XDR and DFIR capabilities with our AI-powered MDR and incident response, we can deliver unified protection that’s proactive, scalable and purpose-built for today’s fast-evolving threats,” said Bob McCullen, CEO and chairman of LevelBlue.

Enhanced Security Capabilities, Broader Coverage
Through the acquisition, LevelBlue strengthens its endpoint security by combining Cybereason’s XDR technology with recently-acquired Trustwave‘s MDR capabilities for faster, more precise threat detection and response. The acquisitions of Cybereason and Stroz Friedberg also enhance LevelBlue’s DFIR services, delivering enhanced forensic expertise and global coverage, particularly in key regions like Japan. In addition, merging Cybereason’s research team with LevelBlue SpiderLabs gives clients sharper insight into emerging threats and timely, actionable intelligence.
LevelBlue’s offerings, including testing, risk assessments and monitoring, work seamlessly across platforms like Microsoft, SentinelOne and hybrid stacks. This flexibility helps clients maximize existing security tools while improving overall protection.
Financial Backing and New Board Appointment
LevelBlue will welcome investments from SoftBank Corp., SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and Liberty Strategic Capital. Steven Mnuchin, managing partner at Liberty Strategic Capital, will serve on LevelBlue’s board of directors.
