NEW YORK: 
Facebook announced Thursday it was buying California-based cybersecurity
 startup PrivateCore, in a move to boost defenses of its vast server 
network. 
 
"I believe that PrivateCore´s technology and 
expertise will help support Facebook´s mission to help make the world 
more open and connected, in a secure and trusted way," Facebook´s Joe 
Sullivan said. 
 
"Over time, we plan to deploy PrivateCore´s technology directly into the Facebook server stack." 
 
PrivateCore
 was launched in 2012 in Palo Alto and specializes in protecting servers
 against malware and other kinds of intrusions. 
 
PrivateCore´s Oded Horovitz said in a blog post that the two firms "have an aligned mission." 
 
"Since
 the beginning, we have worked tirelessly on our technology to protect 
servers from malware threats, unauthorized physical access, and 
malicious hardware devices," he said. 
 
"Working together with Facebook, there is a huge opportunity to pursue our joint vision at scale with incredible impact." 
 
Terms of the deal were not announced. (AFP)
