Merger & Acquisition
Acquisitions
Belgian cybersecurity unicorn Aikido Security acquired US-based Root, an Israeli-founded open-source security firm, for an estimated $70-$100M, announced June 30, 2026. This strategic acquisition, following Aikido's recent unicorn valuation, strengthens its platform against AI-powered supply chain attacks. Root, known for its Slim Toolkit and automated vulnerability remediation, will enhance Aikido's capability to secure code, cloud, and runtime by autonomously patching vulnerabilities without breaking existing applications. Aikido will open a new development center in Israel, absorbing Root's team, expanding its global footprint and product innovation. Root is now fully integrated into Aikido's portfolio (MA_ACQUIRED).
