Herndon, Va–based cybersecurity company Opaq Networks announced last week that it acquired Baltimore-based FourV Systems.

With the deal, Opaq will absorb FourV’s team, and integrate its product that looks to provide key information about a company’s cybersecurity operations to executives. Opaq Chief Strategy Officer Ken Ammon said the technology offers an “automated way to detect and report both on risk posture as well as where you stand on compliance and regulatory framework.”

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Opaq makes a “network security-as-a-service” platform that also offers tools to detect and prevent cybersecurity threats. Ammon said Opaq is focused on providing the tools for midsize companies through channel partnerships.

Just over a year old, Opaq also made a pair of acquisitions last year. The company launched with a $21 million funding round led by Alexandria, Va.–based Columbia Capital, with participation from Harmony Partners and Zero-G Inc.
