Sophos, a developer and vendor of computer security software and hardware, has acquired Reflexion Networks Inc., a provider of cloud-based email security, archiving, email encryption, and business continuity services. The acquisition will enable Sophos to add cloud-based email security to Sophos Cloud, the company’s single, integrated cloud-based management console. Together, Reflexion and Sophos aim to deliver enterprise-grade email security in one affordable and simple-to-manage solution.
Reflexion Networks offers a complete portfolio of cloud-based email security technologies, including cloud-based anti-spam and email security, email archiving for e-discovery, and email encryption for data privacy and compliance.†In addition, Reflexion provides business continuity services to ensure uninterrupted business communications in the event of an outage.†
Sophos Cloud, which was launched in mid-2013, provides endpoint security, mobile device management and security, server security, and application whitelisting through a single, integrated cloud-based console.†
“The Reflexion platform has been built from the ground up to run in the cloud at scale and will strengthen and accelerate our ability to offer email protection when and where the customer wants it,” says Bill Lucchini, senior vice president of Sophos Cloud Security Group. “As we integrate this technology with Sophos Cloud it will complement our Sophos Secure Email Appliance giving IT professionals the choice of a cloud-based solution, or an on-premise solution. We are excited about the opportunity this brings and welcome the Reflexion Networks team to Sophos.”
