Synopsis
Francisco Partners-backed Forcepoint, an American multinational corporation software company headquartered in Austin, agreed to acquire Bitglass, a total data protection company. Financial terms were not disclosed. "Complexity is the enemy of security. IT teams today are faced with the reality that securing a hybrid work environment is even more complex than the move to work-from-home was last year. With the acquisition of Bitglass, Forcepoint will be accelerating our ability to address customers’ widespread need for enabling hybrid workforces to safely access and use information everywhere—in the web, cloud and data center—more easily than ever before," Manny Rivelo, Forcepoint CEO.
