Microsoft Corporation acquires Aorato

Microsoft Corporation acquired Aorato, a transaction announced in November 2014.

Aorato operates in Security & Identity (Azure Active Directory / hybrid cloud). Aorato was an enterprise security firm that used machine learning to profile normal behavior in Windows Server Active Directory environments and flag anomalous, suspicious activity. Microsoft acquired it to bolster identity and access protection across on-premises and cloud infrastructure and complement Azure Active Directory in its hybrid-cloud security strategy.

Add behavioral threat detection to Microsoft's identity offerings and strengthen hybrid-cloud security beyond the network perimeter.

It understands what normal behavior is and then identifies anomalies, so a company can quickly see suspicious behavior.Takeshi Numoto, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Microsoft
