Proofpoint plans to acquire Hornetsecurity Group to enhance human-centric security for small- to medium-sized businesses worldwide through managed service providers (MSPs).
The definitive agreement for the acquisition is expected to close in the second half of the year, subject to customary closing conditions.
The deal will add Hornetsecurity Group’s AI-powered Microsoft 365 security, data protection, and compliance services in Europe to Proofpoint’s cybersecurity and compliance solutions globally.
Upon acquisition closing, Proofpoint intends to offer the Hornetsecurity platform to MSPs and their customers worldwide to improve security across digital channels.
