Imperva, Inc. [IMPV] on Wednesday said Raytheon’s [RTN] Forcepoint commercial cyber security division has agreed to acquire the company’s cloud security solution Skyfence.
Terms of the deal were not announced. Imperva said the deal includes Skyfence technology and service.
Skyfence is a cloud access security broker that provides visibility and control over sanctioned and unsanctioned cloud applications.
“Forcepoint is dedicated to delivering cyber security systems that help customers protect critical business data wherever it resides,” Matthew Moynihan, Forcepoint’s chief executive, said in a statement. “Since partnering with Imperva nearly two years ago, we’ve had the opportunity to see first-hand the power of Skyfence technology and how well it complements Forcepoint’s web security and DLP solutions. I’m confident that integrating Skyfence into Forcepoint’s portfolio will provide significant value to customers as they seek to secure intellectual property and other data within an on-premise infrastructure, as well as public cloud environments.”
Imperva Chief Anthony Bettencourt stated that the sale allows it to focus on its “core business of helping customers protect critical data and applications.”
