HP buys cybersecurity virtualisation vendor Bromium.

The maker of very expensive printer ink, HP, has written a cheque for cybersecurity virtualisation vendor Bromium.

The PC and print vendor has been licensing Bromium technology for its products since 2017 for its  Sure Click web browser protection.

Andy Rhodes, global head of commercial systems at HP, said: “Security is a key competitive differentiator for HP, providing the most secure PCs and printers on the market.

“The acquisition of Bromium extends our investments, leadership and focus in this space, securing end-point devices that are on the front lines of defence against cybersecurity attacks.”

Bromium will be combined with HP end-point protection solutions, including Sure Sense, Sure View and Sure Smart, to become part of its broader platform.
