Reflecting on the deal, which must still obtain regulatory approval, NTT Security's Khiro Mishra and WhiteHat Security's Craig Hinkley say the combination will help bring more application development security - and DevSecOps - products, services and smarts to more organizations, in part via WhiteHat Security's application security platform.
In a video interview with Information Security Media Group at RSA Conference 2019 in San Francisco, Mishra and Hinkley discuss:
- What the acquisition means for NTT;
- WhiteHat Security's view of the acquisition;
- How both businesses see the way forward;
- The timing of the deal.
Mishra is the global chief security architect officer of NTT Security. Hinkley is CEO of WhiteHat Security.
