Facebook buys security startup PrivateCore
"I believe that PrivateCore's technology and expertise will help support Facebook's objective to make the world more open and connected, in a secure and trusted way," Facebook's Joe Sullivan said.
"Over time, we plan to deploy PrivateCore's technology directly into the Facebook server stacks," he said.
PrivateCore was launched in 2012 in Palo Alto and specialises in protecting servers against malware and other kinds of intrusions.
PrivateCore's Oded Horovitz said in a blog post that the two firms have aligned objectives.
"Since the beginning, we have worked tirelessly on our technology to protect servers from malware threats, unauthorized physical access, and malicious hardware devices," he said.
"Working together with Facebook, there is a huge opportunity to pursue our joint objective at scale with incredible impact," he added.
Terms of the deal were not announced.
