Cribl Acquires CardinalOps to Further Expand Its AI Platform into Security Operations

SAN FRANCISCO, July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cribl, the AI Platform for Telemetry, today announced it is acquiring CardinalOps, an Agentic Detection Engineering solution. The acquisition adds detection engineering capabilities that help customers improve threat coverage, lower data costs, and strengthen their SOCs. This creates a flexible path toward replacing legacy SIEM architectures.

Security teams are under pressure to process more telemetry, move faster against threats, and control the rising cost and complexity of their environments. With CardinalOps, Cribl can help customers connect those priorities: use telemetry more intelligently, continuously validate and improve detections, and do it in a way that lets customers modernize at their own pace, using the tools and architectures that make the most sense for their environment.

“Security teams do not need more disconnected tools. They need a better way to turn telemetry into effective detections and outcomes,” said Clint Sharp, co-founder and CEO of Cribl. “CardinalOps strengthens our AI Platform for Telemetry by adding deep detection engineering capabilities to the open data infrastructure our customers already rely on and serves as the foundation for a complete, open alternative to the SIEM stack they've outgrown.”

The acquisition reinforces Cribl’s platform-first approach to the market. Rather than offering another rigid, all-or-nothing security stack, Cribl gives customers an open, vendor-agnostic platform to analyze, collect, move, store, and act on telemetry across their environments. That includes a federated model that lets customers search and work across telemetry where it already lives, without forcing everything into another centralized system. With CardinalOps, Cribl is adding foundational detection engineering capabilities to its AI platform, bringing the same open, AI-native model to the SIEM category itself: everything a SIEM does, on telemetry infrastructure customers already own. That federated foundation also allows Cribl to layer new security and observability solutions on the same shared telemetry foundation, giving customers more flexibility and better economics as they modernize their environments in the AI era.

Founded in early 2020, CardinalOps is led by serial entrepreneurs and veterans of IDF's Unit 8200, Michael Mumcuoglu and Yair Manor, whose previous companies were acquired by Palo Alto Networks and Microsoft. CardinalOps uses AI to help organizations continuously assess and improve detection coverage by mapping security controls against real-world adversary behavior. It automates detection engineering tasks, helping teams identify and eliminate coverage gaps, find and fix broken or noisy rules, and unlock the full value of their existing security stack. Combined with Cribl's ability to manage telemetry at scale, CardinalOps adds the detection layer that helps customers move faster from raw data to actionable insights that improve security outcomes.

“Too many security teams have good data, powerful tools, and endless alerts, but no real confidence that they are actually protected,” said Michael Mumcuoglu, co-founder and CEO of CardinalOps. “We built CardinalOps so SOC teams could understand and improve coverage instead of just managing more noise. Joining Cribl lets us bring that directly into the telemetry layer and build what the market needs next: an open, AI-native alternative to the SIEM, where customers pay for better protection, not more data volume. That's what we're building next.”

With this acquisition, Cribl will also establish a new office in Tel Aviv, creating a strategic presence in one of the world’s most active cybersecurity innovation hubs. The move will allow Cribl to tap into Israel’s deep pool of cybersecurity talent and further accelerate the development of its modern security solutions.

By bringing CardinalOps into the Cribl platform, Cribl is expanding its footprint in security operations while staying true to what differentiates the company in the market: an open platform, lighter-weight solutions on top, and the freedom for customers to adopt what they need without lock-in. The acquisition also creates a stronger foundation for future security offerings built on the Cribl platform.

“At Repsol, we operate across a diverse and distributed security environment, so improving detection coverage while controlling cost and complexity is critical to how we justify security investment at the board level,” said Javier García Quintela, Global CISO of Repsol. “CardinalOps and Cribl are a strong combination for that: CardinalOps strengthens our detection posture across platforms, and Cribl gives us the flexibility to manage and analyze telemetry efficiently across that same environment. Together, they help our SOC teams move faster, reduce risk, and increase effectiveness.”

The integration of CardinalOps technology into the Cribl platform will bring Cribl's security capabilities together into a complete, open alternative to legacy SIEM architectures.

  • Established renewable energy business with an experienced management team, 148 MW of operating and in-construction assets, 351 MW of construction-ready projects and an 11.6 GW development pipeline
  • Strong alignment with A.P. Moller Capital's focus on energy transition infrastructure in high-growth markets

COPENHAGEN, Denmark and CAPE TOWN, South Africa, June 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A.P. Moller Capital is pleased to announce that A.P. Moller Capital – Emerging Markets Infrastructure Fund II (“EMIF II”) through a special purpose vehicle has signed an agreement to acquire Mainstream Renewable Power South Africa (“Mainstream South Africa”), a large renewable energy developer and independent power producer in South Africa.

Established in 2009, Mainstream South Africa is one of the country's most established renewable energy platforms, with a proven track record of developing, constructing and operating utility-scale renewable energy projects. The business currently comprises 148 MW of operating and in-construction assets, 351 MW of construction-ready projects and a development pipeline of approximately 11.6 GW spanning solar, wind and battery storage opportunities.

The acquisition builds on A.P. Moller Capital's experience investing in and growing energy businesses across Africa, and South and Southeast Asia, including: Lumika Renewables in South Africa, Cabeólica in Cabo Verde, Eranove across West Africa, Impala Energy in Nigeria, East Africa Infrastructure Platform in Kenya, Verdant Energy in Southeast Asia and the announced investment in Rays Power Infra in India, which remains subject to completion.

Mainstream South Africa operates a fully integrated business with in-house capabilities across development, energy trading, project delivery, asset management and operations and maintenance. The company serves a growing base of corporate customers and has established relationships with leading South African companies, including Sasol and Air Liquide.

The acquisition reflects A.P. Moller Capital’s continued commitment to investing in infrastructure businesses that support economic development and the energy transition across emerging markets. South Africa represents one of the fastest growing renewable energy markets globally, underpinned by rising electricity demand, the ongoing retirement of coal-fired generation, and regulatory reforms.

Following completion, A.P. Moller Capital will partner with the existing management team to expand Mainstream South Africa’s operating portfolio, grow its energy trading business and support the company’s next phase of development.

The transaction is subject to regulatory and other third-party approvals.

Jens Thomassen, Partner at A.P. Moller Capital, said:

“Mainstream South Africa is a high-quality business with an experienced management team, a proven track record and one of the country’s largest renewable energy development pipelines. As power demand and the need for new generation capacity continue to grow, this investment strengthens our energy transition strategy and supports our ambition to build a leading independent power producer in South Africa.”

Julie Berg, CEO of Mainstream Renewable Power, commented:

“We are pleased that Mainstream South Africa will become part of EMIF II’s portfolio, with A.P. Moller Capital supporting the business in its next phase of growth. As Mainstream Renewable Power focuses on fewer markets, the South African business will benefit from an experienced infrastructure investor with the resources and expertise to support its development. We are confident that the strong and capable team in South Africa, together with A.P. Moller Capital, is well positioned to develop the portfolio and deliver on attractive projects in the pipeline.”
