SHI International Acquires Moot, Inc. to Enhance Cybersecurity Offerings

Published on : 3/7/2024

Global solutions provider adds automated orchestration platform to its growing IT security portfolio

SOMERSET, N.J.— March 07, 2024 —  SHI International, one of the world’s leading technology solutions providers, has acquired Moot Inc., a cybersecurity firm that provides automated security solutions to help customers optimize the potential value of existing IT assets.

Moot introduces automation that can significantly reduce security costs by eliminating human error, R&D, implementation, support, and much more. The platform orchestrates security workflows like baselines, privileged security, user management, and device management by optimizing an environment’s existing tools.

“Helping customers stay vigilant in securing their environment requires a constant evaluation of new cutting-edge cybersecurity companies and technologies,” said Thai Lee, President and CEO at SHI. “But security should not hamper productivity. Our clients will appreciate the efficiency of Moot’s orchestration platform and help them enhance the technology investments they have already made while planning for future growth.

This new addition fortifies Stratascale, SHI’s cybersecurity and digital solutions company, by complementing the recent acquisition of Vector0 in September 2023.  While Vector0 powers Stratascale's Attack Surface Control & Vulnerability Management as a Service capabilities, Moot’s orchestration platform automates the steps required to achieve a dramatic reduction of an organization’s attack surface. 

The acquisition will be executed immediately, and Moot’s employees have formally joined SHI.
