Aqua Security Buys Software Supply Chain Security Firm Argon>
CRN – Michael Novinson
Aqua Security has purchased startup Argon to thwart third-party threats to the development environment and ensure the software supply chain is secure.

The Burlington, Mass.-based cloud security vendorâs acquisition of Tel Aviv, Israel-based Argon will provide more visibility into the developer pipeline and runtime posture to help customers better defend against malicious activity, according to co-founder and CEO Dror Davidoff. Argonâs technology gives companies more control over who has access to their code and what code theyâre allowed to input.

Argon will be fully integrated into Aqua over the next six to 12 months, with a loose integration in the interim allowing customers to purchase both Aqua and Argonâs technology using a single dashboard, Davidoff said. The Argon technology will be Aquaâs fifth major module, meaning that customers will have the option of either procuring it on a stand-alone basis or as part of Aquaâs platform, Davidoff said.
