JERUSALEM, Feb. 12 (Xinhua) -- The Israeli cyber company Luminate Security announced on Tuesday that it is being acquired by the U.S. software giant Symantec.

Luminate Security, founded in December 2016, is located in the coastal city of Tel Aviv and in Palo Alto, San Francisco. It has developed a platform that allows secure access to enterprise applications.
