Vectra AI Acquires Netography to Expand its AI-Driven Cybersecurity Platform with Pioneering Cloud-Native Network Observability

Acquisition expands Vectra AI's leadership in cloud network security by uniting Netography software-defined observability with Vectra AI-driven attack signal clarity

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vectra AI, the cybersecurity AI company that protects modern networks from modern attacks, today announced the acquisition of Netography, a pioneer in cloud-native network observability. The acquisition strengthens the Vectra AI Platform's ability to deliver unmatched protection for hybrid and multi-cloud enterprises. As part of the acquisition, Netography Fusion will join the Vectra AI portfolio as Vectra Fusion, delivering agentless, cloud-native observability to enable proactive, preemptive cyber-attack defense for hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

As enterprises embrace cloud-first strategies, distributed workforces, and IoT/OT expansion, the traditional network perimeter has evolved. Today's organizations are hybrid by design — with workloads, identities, and data constantly moving across on-premises, multi-cloud, and SaaS environments. Attackers exploit this complexity, traversing domains in minutes while defenders struggle with fragmented tools and incomplete visibility. By acquiring Netography, Vectra AI converges the breadth of cloud-native observability with the depth of AI-driven attack signal clarity.

According to Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Network Detection and Response (2025), Vectra AI is named a Leader, positioned highest for Ability to Execute and furthest for Completeness of Vision. Gartner highlights that "as hybrid and multi-cloud adoption accelerates, NDR platforms that extend beyond traditional packet inspection to include flow logs, cloud telemetry, and identity data are rapidly becoming indispensable to SOC operations." Vectra AI's acquisition of Netography directly aligns with this shift.

Netography's Software-Defined Observability brings seamless orchestration of VPC flow logs, automated onboarding of new accounts and workloads, and uniform visibility across AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-premises environments. By integrating these capabilities, Vectra AI not only extends its native coverage of the hybrid enterprise but also enriches the accuracy of its attack signal clarity with context from cloud control planes and data planes. The result is a uniform, frictionless SOC platform for the modern hybrid enterprise.

"Enterprises will be hybrid forever," says Hitesh Sheth, CEO of Vectra AI, "and only AI can deliver the signal at the speed and scale required to defend them. Network-derived signal is the ultimate source of truth, not only for detecting active threats but also for managing overall exposure. With Netography, we add the breadth of cloud-native observability to Vectra AI's depth of attack signal clarity. The outcome is one converged platform that gives security teams the power to proactively and reactively protect hybrid enterprises with unmatched speed and precision."

Martin Roesch, CEO of Netography echoes Hitesh's comments, "For years, we've argued that observability must be cloud-native, software-defined, and frictionless because visibility without scale is an illusion. With Vectra AI, that observability becomes truly actionable. Our combined platform gives defenders uniform visibility, context, and control across any environment, finally matching the speed and agility of modern attackers."

"Bringing Netography's cloud observability together with Vectra AI's attack signal intelligence will give us the unified visibility and trusted detections we've been waiting for," says Yoni Kaplansky, Head of Cyber Architecture, Engineering, and Operations at FICO. "It aligns directly with our strategy to strengthen security operations across hybrid and multi-cloud environments while reducing operational overhead."

"Before Netography Fusion, scaling observability across multi-cloud and on-prem was a constant challenge," says Faan DeSwardt, Cloud Architect at Rubrik. "Now, we have a single, consistent view of network activity, enriched with context we can act on. It's changed how quickly and confidently our SOC can investigate and contain issues."

Art Coviello, former Executive Chairman of RSA and Managing Partner at SYN Ventures, was an early investor in Netography and is widely recognized as one of the most influential voices in cybersecurity. With decades of experience advising enterprises and shaping the security industry, he sees the convergence of observability and detection as a defining shift in how organizations defend hybrid enterprises. "This move reflects where the industry is headed — toward converged platforms that reduce tool sprawl while increasing efficacy. By marrying modern attack signal clarity with observability, Vectra AI and Netography are giving enterprises what they've been asking for: the ability to defend complex hybrid environments with confidence and control."

With Netography now part of the Vectra AI Platform, organizations gain the best of both worlds: the breadth of frictionless, cloud-native observability and the depth of AI-driven attack signal clarity. Together, the companies set a new standard for converged detection, investigation and response at enterprise speed and scale — giving defenders the power to eliminate blind spots, cut through noise, and stop modern attacks on modern hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
