Forcepoint to Acquire Getvisibility, Enhancing Data Security Solutions with AI Innovations

In a strategic move to bolster its data security offerings, Forcepoint has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Getvisibility, a leader in AI-powered Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and Data Detection and Response (DDR). This acquisition is set to enhance Forcepoint’s Data Security Everywhere platform, which aims to unify visibility and control over sensitive data for enterprise and government clients.

The partnership, which has flourished over the past two years, will deepen the integration of Getvisibility’s advanced AI-driven risk visibility and remediation capabilities into Forcepoint’s comprehensive data security solutions. This synergy promises to simplify security management, enhance risk mitigation, and accelerate compliance processes, addressing the growing challenges organizations face in managing their data.

“Data is the new currency of business,” said Ryan Windham, CEO of Forcepoint. “By integrating Getvisibility’s technology, we empower organizations to transform data security from a compliance obligation into a strategic advantage.” With data breaches averaging $5 million in costs, the stakes for effective data risk management have never been higher.

Getvisibility’s innovative DSPM and DDR technologies provide organizations with superior insights into data risks, including improper access and regulatory exposure. The acquisition will enable real-time threat mitigation and adaptive security controls, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected across various platforms, including cloud applications and AI environments.

Ronan Murphy, Co-founder of Getvisibility, emphasized the importance of visibility in data security, stating, “You can’t secure what you don’t see.” Together, Forcepoint and Getvisibility aim to redefine industry standards, equipping businesses with the tools needed to safeguard critical data assets in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
