OpenText Acquisition of Pillr Gives MSPs an MDR Offer
Summary
The buyer has been playing in the cybersecurity space with offerings like network detection and response (NDR) and identity and access management (IAM). Channel Futures posed questions to Geoff Bibby, senior vice president of marketing and strategy at OpenText Cybersecurity. Geoff Bibby: With this acquisition, Pillr will become our de facto MDR solution and is additive to our robust suite of security products. We see a lot of potential in being able to offer a simplified and fully managed detection and response capability to help MSPs secure their customers against rising threats. This acquisition will also help OpenText expand our MSP footprint with hundreds of Pillr customers in North America and the U.K., as well as increase our share of wallet with new segments like K-12 education organizations and others.
