Media and telecommunications giant Comcast said it has acquired BluVector, a company that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technology to help detect cyber threats.
The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
“BluVector is a global leader in leveraging AI and machine learning to defend against advanced cyber threats,” Don Mathis, GM, Growth at Comcast said. “We’re thrilled that BluVector is part of Comcast and are excited to support its continued growth, even as we explore new opportunities to leverage BluVector technology and expertise.”
