Allen & Overy is advising Eurazeo on a $100 Million Funding Round to Fuel Devo’s Global Expansion and Acquisitions. The funding round comes on the heels of Devo’s acquisition of Kognos, the AI-powered threat hunting pioneer, which marked a key step in delivering what Devo calls the autonomous SOC— complete visibility, automation, analytics, and open access to community expertise and content.
