More M&A! HelpSystems today announced the acquisition of Digital Guardian, an SaaS provider of data loss prevention (DLP) solutions for large and mid-sized organisations.
The team and solutions from Digital Guardian will be incorporated into HelpSystems’ data security portfolio, and combine with powerful security solutions such as GoAnywhere, Clearswift, Agari, and Titus.
Helpsystems said that in addition to extending its DLP capability, this acquisition further improves the company’s ability to categorise, or classify, data and protect it across a wide set of applications and operating systems.
HelpSystems CEO Kate Bolseth said the companies’ global customers look to it to provide them with powerful solutions and services to support all of their cybersecurity needs, and the data protection expertise the Digital Guardian team brings to HelpSystems is second to none.
“As the threat landscape grows and organisations struggle to keep up, the ability for teams to offload deployments as well as the ongoing risk and responsibility to experts is invaluable. We are thrilled to welcome the Digital Guardian team into the HelpSystems family.”
Digital Guardian CEO Mordecai Rosen said recent headlines serve as an unsettling reminder that even the world’s largest and most influential companies aren’t immune from that threat.
“Data classification and DLP remain critical components of a comprehensive cybersecurity program and the combination of Digital Guardian and HelpSystems will provide all our customers, regardless of their size, the opportunity to implement world-class data protection solutions.”
