Forcepoint Buys Cyberinc for Additional SASE Capabilities

Forcepoint has acquired Cyberinc, a provider of remote browser isolation (RBI) technology. It will integrate Cyberinc‘s Smart Isolation capabilities into its secure access service edge (SASE) infrastructure.

Cyberinc’s Smart Isolation capabilities include cloud security gateway (web and cloud security); private access (zero-trust network access); email security gateway; and next-generation firewall.

Adding these capabilities to Forcepoint’s SASE will offer enterprises of all sizes better visibility and control, the company said. This will help protect against advanced threats, as well as theft or loss of sensitive data, wherever people are working.

As part of the acquisition, Forcepoint will also establish an innovation center in Mumbai. It brings together and builds upon Cyberinc’s India-based technical and engineering talent. Cyberinc’s technology and employees are joining Forcepoint as part of the company’s global innovation development teams. They’ll help accelerate new SASE capabilities with risk-based RBI innovation.
