Arctic Wolf Buys Cylance for $160M, Launches New Security Platform

February 2025 – Cybersecurity leader Arctic Wolf has announced the successful acquisition of Cylance from BlackBerry in a $160 million deal, reinforcing its capabilities in the rapidly evolving endpoint security landscape. Alongside the acquisition, the company launched a new AI-powered endpoint protection solution aimed at delivering unified and proactive threat defense.

The acquisition brings together Arctic Wolf’s strengths in security operations and threat detection with Cylance’s pioneering work in AI-driven endpoint protection. The result is a comprehensive platform that combines managed detection and response (MDR), threat prevention, and zero-trust endpoint controls in a single solution designed for modern enterprise environments.

Arctic Wolf’s newly launched product, Arctic Wolf® Endpoint Protection, integrates Cylance’s patented AI models for malware prevention with real-time threat telemetry and SOC-level support. The platform promises to reduce dwell time, stop zero-day threats, and extend visibility across hybrid infrastructures—all while lowering operational burden on IT teams.

The acquisition signals Arctic Wolf’s aggressive move into the endpoint protection platform (EPP) and extended detection and response (XDR) markets, where the demand for unified, cloud-native solutions is accelerating.

According to NextGen Intelligence Stats, the endpoint security market is witnessing rapid expansion, driven by increased cyber threats, rising remote workforces, and the growing complexity of IT infrastructures. Advanced AI-integrated endpoint tools are now essential for securing devices, data, and users in real time.

With Cylance's IP and engineering team onboard, Arctic Wolf is positioned to become a major player in the next phase of endpoint security—focused on intelligence, automation, and prevention-first strategies.
