Cyber Startup Tailscale Turns to M&A as AI Agents Flood Networks

Canadian cybersecurity startup Tailscale Inc. bought smaller Vancouver-based firm Border0, its first acquisition, adding technology that helps businesses manage the proliferation of artificial intelligence agents being unleashed into digital systems.

Border0 helps companies manage and monitor the people and technology allowed into different servers and databases. That service, called privileged access management, is a focus of new security questions because of autonomous AI tools, said Avery Pennarun, Tailscale’s co-founder and chief executive officer.
