History

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] In November 2016, Skyhigh Networks was recognized as a market leader.[3][4]

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.[5][6]

In March 2021, McAfee announced that its enterprise business was acquired by private equity firm Symphony Technology Group (STG) for US$4bn.[7] and in March 2022, STG relaunched the cloud portfolio, including the former Skyhigh Networks, as Skyhigh Security.[8][9][10][11] Skyhigh Security remains a leader in the now expanded Security Services Edge market focusing on cloud data protection.[12]
