On February 15, 2018, Oracle announced that it signed an agreement to acquire Zenedge, adding leading cloud-based network and infrastructure security capabilities to protect enterprises from today’s complex digital threats. The combination of Oracle and Zenedge equips Oracle’s enterprise-grade Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) with integrated, next-generation Web Application Firewall (WAF) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) capabilities.

Zenedge helps secure critical IT systems deployed via cloud, on-premise or hybrid hosting environments.
