Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) said on Monday that its $5.4B buyout of cybersecurity firm Mandiant is officially complete.
In a blog post, Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said that Mandiant will be part of the Google Cloud security portfolio, though the company will retain the Mandiant brand.

"Combining Google Cloudâs existing security portfolio with Mandiantâs leading cyber threat intelligence will allow us to deliver a security operations suite to help enterprises globally stay protected at every stage of the security lifecycle," Kurian wrote.
In March, Google (GOOG) (GOOGL) revealed plans to buy Mandiant in an all-cash deal. Mandiant was previously a part of FireEye before it was spun-off into its own publicly traded company.
On Monday, it was reported that Google (GOOG) (GOOGL) is looking to move a significant part of production of its Pixel smartphone to India from China.
