MIAMI – JUNE 11, 2018 – Cyxtera Technologies, the secure infrastructure company, today announced the completion of the acquisition of Immunity, Inc., a global leader in offense-oriented cyber security techniques and technologies. Cyxtera will incorporate Immunity’s offerings into its portfolio of threat management and analytic services to give organizations a comprehensive way to address the entire cyber-attack lifecycle while building cyber-resilience across their IT footprints.
Immunity’s business lines include advanced penetration testing, vulnerability assessment and consulting services and specialized products that aid in verifying the security of systems, and in the hunting of adversaries. In addition, the company owns and operates INFILTRATE, a premier annual technical conference exclusively focused on offense and counter-offense security issues.

The entire Immunity team is excited to help build these capabilities starting today."
“Since the January announcement of our intent to acquire Immunity, the Cyxtera team has been looking forward to this day as we know it will create tangible value for global organizations facing persistent security challenges,” said Christopher Day, Chief Cybersecurity Officer and General Manager, Threat Management and Analytics for Cyxtera. “We intend to work purposefully and quickly to make that happen by incorporating Immunity’s deeply talented team and rich technical capabilities into Cyxtera.”
