With Zscaler Inc.‘s announced acquisition today of startup Airgap Networks Inc., a network access and segmentation tech provider, the cybersecurity provider is looking to address gaps in operational technology. No financial terms for the purchase were provided, but Airgap has raised a little over $13 million since it was founded in 2019, so the deal is likely under $100 million. Recently, I spoke with Naresh Kumar (pictured), vice president and general manager of product management at Zscaler, to review the acquisition details. He put the deal in perspective.
