Skyhigh Security is a cloud security company, with headquarters in San Jose, California. The company offers enterprise cloud security services.[1]

History

[edit]

Skyhigh Networks was founded in 2011 by Rajiv Gupta, Sekhar Sarukkai and Kaushik Narayan to protect an organization's sensitive data by providing visibility, control, and usage of cloud services.[2]

On November 27, 2017, McAfee, an American global computer security software company, announced a definitive agreement to acquire Skyhigh Networks. The deal closed in January 2018.[3][4]

In March 2021, McAfee announced that its enterprise business was acquired by private equity firm Symphony Technology Group (STG) for US $4 billion.[5] and in March 2022, STG relaunched the cloud portfolio, including the former Skyhigh Networks, as Skyhigh Security.[6][7][8][9]
