Palo Alto Networks explored acquisitions of cloud-monitoring platform Datadog and identity-security firm Okta before ultimately spending about $28 billion on CyberArk and Chronosphere, a report says. Talks with Okta valued at roughly $13.5 billion stalled over price, while Datadog discussions ended sooner. Palo Alto paid $3.35 billion for Chronosphere in January 2026 and is also weighing Cribl and ClickHouse candidates, while a new AI+Chronosphere product is used by over 600 customers to detect threats within minutes.

ABOUT

What is Fimmer?

Most feeds treat all company headlines the same. An executive interview, an office closure, stock analysis, and a data breach can sit side by side with no sense of scale. Fimmer ranks coverage by what matters, so important events stand out and signals are prioritised over noise. We cluster related company news and score each story using a range of metrics, so you see the most crucial stories first.

SCORING

What do the scores mean?

Significance (0–10) measures the scale of the real-world impact. Sentiment and ESG (−10 to +10) indicate the tone of the coverage and whether the change relates to environmental, social, or governance factors. Together, these scores help distinguish meaningful developments from routine company news. More information about our scoring methodology can be found on our About page.
