Palo Alto Networks today said it reached a deal to acquire Bridgecrew, a DevOps security startup, for $156 million in cash.

The 2-year-old startup, based in San Francisco, raised $18.1 million to create its developer-focused security platform, and its open source infrastructure-as-code scanner, Checkov, surpassed 1 million downloads last year in its first full year of availability. Bridgecrew’s customers include Globality, BetterHelp, Databricks, and People.ai.

Palo Alto Networks said it will fold the startup’s technology, which codifies infrastructure configuration during development, into its Prisma Cloud security platform. This will allow it to integrate cloud security across the application lifecycle, wrote Palo Alto Networks’ Lee Klarich in a blog post.

“Bridgecrew’s product embeds security into every commit, pull request, and build job,” he wrote. “In doing so, it alerts the dev teams in realtime and in the tools they know and love so much. This is not only good for developer productivity – it also helps security teams to focus on critical runtime security threats.”

The purchase follows two other cloud-native security acquisitions, container security company Twistlock and PureSec for serverless security, that Palo Alto Networks made last year. Prisma Cloud now spans container, serverless, identity-based microsegmentation, data, and identity and access management security. And Bridgecrew will add infrastructure as code.

Bridgecrew co-founders, Idan Tendler, Barak Schoster and Guy Eisenkot, and their teams will join Palo Alto Networks, and the security company will continue to invest in Bridgecrew’s open-source initiatives. The companies expect the deal to close in Palo Alto Networks’ fiscal third quarter.
