HOUSTON – April 15, 2016 – Alert Logic (www.alertlogic.com), the leading provider of Security-as-a-Service solutions for the cloud, today announced that it acquired Austin-based Click Security. The real-time security analytics provider brings complementary threat detection and incident analysis capabilities, bolstering Alert Logic’s existing security analytics and threat detection solutions, and contributing additional security and engineering talent to the company.

Click Security’s cybersecurity solutions go beyond traditional security defenses, such as firewalls, anti-virus software and intrusion prevention systems, to find and halt attacks. The company provides real-time security analytics that enable businesses to detect subtle changes in behavior that are often the signs of an advanced attack.
