Microsoft Corporation acquired Adallom, a transaction announced in September 2015.
Adallom operates in Office 365 / Enterprise Mobility Suite / Identity & Security. Adallom is a cloud-security company whose cloud access security broker gives enterprises visibility and control over how cloud apps such as Salesforce, Box and Dropbox access company data. Microsoft acquired it to extend identity and security across its cloud offerings, complementing Office 365 and the Enterprise Mobility Suite.
With rising cybersecurity threats and identity as a critical control plane, Adallom strengthens Microsoft's ability to help customers protect data in a mobile-first, cloud-first world.
Advanced threats and cybercrime will persist in this mobile-first, cloud-first era, but at Microsoft we remain committed to helping our customers protect their data with new and innovative identity and security capabilities.Takeshi Numoto, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Microsoft
