Astaro announced that Sophos and Astaro have signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by Sophos. Together with Sophos they will offer a complete security solution, deliver protection regardless of where the use is, what device they are using, or where the company’s network boundary may lie.
With more than 100 million users in 150 countries, Sophos is the fastest growing of the three largest endpoint security companies. And with more than two decades of experience, Sophos is regarded as a leader in security and data protection by top analyst firms and has received many industry awards.
Astaro will be the network security product line within Sophos and will be able to leverage a global brand and a larger organization with complementary technologies. We will stay very focused on high quality network security products and their role in what will be the industry's first coordinated gateway and endpoint security solution.
We see this as a positive change giving both companies the products that each needs to widen their security support.
