The acquisition tightens the synergy to simplify security management, enhance risk mitigation and speed compliance for enterprise and government customers. The agreement builds on a successful multi-year partnership, further integrating Getvisibility’s AI-driven risk visibility and remediation within Forcepoint’s full-lifecycle data security solutions. By strengthening interoperability between Getvisibility’s DSPM and DDR capabilities and the Data Security Everywhere architecture, Forcepoint enables seamless discovery, classification, prioritization, remediation and protection of sensitive data—including PII, intellectual property and other critical assets—across modern hybrid and AI environments.

For more than two years, Getvisibility’s DSPM and AI-mesh technology—a coordinated network of specialized AI models designed to improve accuracy and speed in data classification and risk detection—has been a core component in Forcepoint’s data security approach. Using Getvisibility technology, customers and partners gain superior visibility and insights into data risks such as redundant and obsolete data, improper access, misplaced files and regulatory exposure.

Getvisibility’s DDR capabilities, with integrated AI, automate classification and enable dynamic remediation to mitigate threats before they escalate. This acquisition expands that integration, delivering comprehensive security that continuously adapts to how users’ access, share and interact with data across devices, cloud applications and GenAI platforms.

“Data is the new currency of business, and every organization is racing to unlock its value while minimizing risk,” said Ryan Windham, CEO of Forcepoint. “By further integrating Getvisibility’s AI-driven DSPM and DDR into our portfolio, Forcepoint is equipping enterprises and governments with the visibility, automation and adaptive controls needed to transform data security from a compliance obligation into a strategic advantage. This acquisition reinforces our commitment to helping organizations protect sensitive data at scale, while turning security into a driver of growth and innovation.”

Managing data risk is critical for every organization’s success. All businesses are dependent on data which is crucial for accurate insights, decision-making, driving innovation and gaining a competitive edge. Loss of proprietary and sensitive data results in more than regulatory fines and remediation costs, today averaging $5 million per data breach. With the fast-rising tide of class action suits, industry insiders predict that breach-related class action costs will exceed regulatory fines by 50 percent in 2025. The stakes for mitigating data vulnerability and risk have never been higher.

“With data surging throughout the cloud, and GenAI systems increasing the risk that sensitive information will get exposed, organizations are struggling to know where their data actually is, how it’s being used, what the sensitivity of the data is, and how to protect it,” said Frank Dickson, Group Vice President for Cybersecurity Products at IDC. “They are tired of cobbling together siloed products and now are looking for new, integrated approaches that unify visibility and control so that they can reduce the complexity, cost, and risk of innovating.”

Forcepoint’s Data Security Everywhere approach unifies security policies across AI websites, endpoints, email, SaaS applications and custom environments. With Getvisibility’s DSPM and DDR capabilities even more deeply integrated, organizations will gain:

1. Proactive risk visibility: Continuous discovery and classification of sensitive data across SaaS, cloud, and on-premises environments
2. Real-time threat mitigation: Automated enforcement of security policies across CASB, Web Security and Enterprise DLP
3. Adaptive security controls: Policy enforcement that uses the intelligence of AI to dynamically protect sensitive data across AI platforms (e.g., ChatGPT Enterprise, Copilot, Gemini) and enterprise applications

Ronan Murphy, Co-founder of Getvisibility, added, “From day one, our mission has been to help organizations understand their data risks—because you can’t secure what you don’t see. Real-time risk mitigation is key to preventing breaches before they happen. By joining forces with data security’s original architects, Forcepoint, we’re amplifying our AI-powered insights to help customers and partners pinpoint risk, protecting critical data assets with accuracy and speed that redefine industry standards.”

The widespread adoption of SaaS applications has exposed organizations to an increased array of cyber threats. Statista reports an average use of 130 SaaS applications by organizations globally. Yet, Atmosec’s research reveals that there are approximately 700 additional SaaS applications in use without IT’s knowledge. Moreover, within popular enterprise SaaS platforms such as O365 and Slack, hundreds of third-party apps are connected. This ever-expanding SaaS landscape not only increases the potential attack surface, but it also introduces many apps that could be harmful or misused to leak sensitive information, often bypassing proper IT authorization.

“The shift to SaaS applications introduces specific challenges, notably in the realm of malicious SaaS-to-SaaS communications. Atmosec´s capabilities in SaaS discovery, risk assessment, and full visibility are instrumental in addressing these challenges,” says Nataly Kremer, Chief Product Officer and Head of R&D at Check Point Software Technologies. “Integrating Atmosec’s technology into Check Point Infinity sets us to deliver one of the industry’s most secure SASE solutions, enabling organizations to effectively manage SaaS security, prevent data leaks, unauthorized access, and malware dissemination, and ensure a robust, adaptive zero trust environment.”

Key features of Atmosec’s technology include:

• Quick discovery and disconnection of malicious SaaS applications, completed in under 10 minutes
• Prevent third-party SaaS applications from communicating with an enterprise’s SaaS environment
• Provide full visibility into authorized and unauthorized SaaS applications
• Fix misconfigurations within SaaS applications such as publicly exposed repositories,
• Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) to access the application, and many more.

With Atmosec’s technology, Check Point Infinity will offer SaaS security with continuous SaaS posture management, prevention of malicious communications (SSPM), and a full security stack for SaaS apps including threat prevention, data protection, and adaptative zero-trust access controls for both users and devices (CASB). New capabilities will be incrementally released based on roadmap milestones, enabling organizations to utilize these critical enhancements from the same Check Point Infinity platform they already use today. The acquisition of Atmosec is expected to close by mid-September 2023.

“Combining SecBI with LogPoint SIEM and UEBA will immediately drive tremendous value to our current and future customers. As organizations large and small face the most critical cyber threats, security teams need solutions that will help them be more effective and efficient in protecting their organization,” said Jesper Zerlang, LogPoint CEO. “This integration will allow customers to quickly launch automated notifications and security remediations using our full-native SOAR capabilities. This is a major step forward in delivering our XDR-enabled operations platform giving our partners and customers one of the most innovative, intuitive, and proven solutions available.”

With the rapid integration of SecBI SOAR and XDR technology, LogPoint will take another step in solving the complex cybersecurity challenges that SOCs face today. The acquisition will enable customers to eliminate false positives and automate incident response. Together, these comprehensive, complementary platforms will automate repetitive tasks, orchestrate threat remediation workflows, and autonomously investigate, prioritize, and execute playbooks that reduce human involvement — allowing analysts to focus on real threats to protect organizations better.

“We are excited to join LogPoint and integrate seamlessly to further extend the company’s foundational cybersecurity solution,” said Gilad Peleg, SecBI CEO. “With the inclusion of the SecBI technology, LogPoint takes automation to the next level to address the challenges organizations and cybersecurity analysts are facing in responding rapidly to an exponentially rising number of incidents.”
