Endgame, once a secretive supplier of cyber weapons to yet more secretive government agencies, has made its first acquisition, aiming to help public- and private-sector clients better protect mobile devices used by employees.

Endgame bought Melbourne (Fla.)-based Onyxware for an undisclosed sum and plans to announce the transaction today. Onyxware’s technology gives users the ability to see when their devices are connecting to unsafe networks or when a third party is using an app to access private information on a mobile phone, according to Endgame Chief Executive Officer Nathaniel Fick.
