\"\"Symantec<\/a>\u00a0has announced an agreement to acquire Israel-based cybersecurity firm Fireglass<\/a>, who offer an\u00a0agentless isolation solution designed to eliminate\u00a0ransomware, malware and phishing threats in real-time by preventing potentially harmful content from reaching user endpoints or the corporate network. With this acquisition, Symantec \u00a0aims to strengthen its Integrated Cyber Defense Platform as well as\u00a0Secure Web Gateway and Email protection, according to a statement. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.<\/p>\n

Fireglass\u2019 approach to browser isolation works by executing potentially harmful website and email content and attachments within a fully protected and separate environment, eliminating the most common infiltration points for ransomware, exploits and malware. This service can be delivered as a cloud service, on premises, or in a hybrid model.<\/p>\n

Greg Clark, Symantec CEO said, \u201cIntegrating Fireglass\u2019 isolation technology with Symantec\u2019s existing endpoint, email and secure web gateway solutions could reduce security events by as much as 70 percent, while virtually eliminating advanced threats spread by web browsing or email content. Isolation will become a core component in the design of cyber defense architectures for the cloud generation who face the reality of an encrypted Internet and the crisis inherent in email and web-delivered attacks. The ability for the security team to take an aggressive stance on unknown websites and questionable attachments without causing chaos for a company\u2019s users and IT help desk is now a reality. Isolation is a key element of securing the cloud generation and is even a productivity gain for both the end user and security operations center.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guy Guzner, Founder and CEO of Fireglass, said, \u201cWe\u2019ve long admired Symantec for their leadership in protecting customers\u2019 critical information. Fireglass\u2019 industry-leading isolation technology helps customers battle zero-day attacks and other serious vulnerabilities, making it an essential element for protecting email, messaging and web browsing. It easily integrates with existing security solutions and across all forms of the endpoint including Windows, Mac, Android, iOS and all others including browser-enabled IoT devices. With Symantec\u2019s global scale, we\u2019re excited to bring this groundbreaking technology into the hands of more customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to close in the third calendar quarter of 2017. Symantec expects Fireglass\u2019 technology to be available to its customers and partners soon after the transaction closes. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
