Forcepoint Acquires Getvisibility to Boost Data Security Solution
Forcepoint has completed its acquisition of Getvisibility, an AI-powered Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and Data Detection and Response (DDR) firm. This acquisition strengthens Forcepoint's Data Security Everywhere platform, providing organizations with real-time visibility and control over data risks in hybrid cloud and GenAI environments.
The deal enhances Forcepoint's ability to offer full-lifecycle data security. From discovery and classification to real-time risk mitigation, it now supports hybrid environments, cloud platforms, and GenAI ecosystems.
'Data moves fast—so does risk,' said Ryan Windham, CEO of Forcepoint. 'With Getvisibility now part of the Forcepoint family, we can identify risks as they occur and prevent them from spreading. Together, we're building AI Mesh and risk insights to secure data before it's lost or misused, enabling customers to innovate confidently.'
Getvisibility's AI Mesh technology, an interconnected network of task-specific AI models, offers exceptional accuracy in data discovery, classification, and risk mitigation. This technology is now a core component of Forcepoint's Data Security Everywhere platform. As a result, customers can continuously discover and classify sensitive data across SaaS, cloud, on-premises, and email environments. They can also detect risky behavior and enforce policies to prevent data loss without slowing innovation. Additionally, the solution dynamically adapts to protect sensitive data shared through various tools, including ChatGPT Enterprise, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini.
Forcepoint and Getvisibility had partnered for over two years prior to the acquisition, delivering advanced DSPM and DDR capabilities globally. This acquisition enables deeper integration, helping MSSPs, channel partners, enterprises, and government agencies mitigate cyber risks, achieve compliance, and prevent data loss without increasing operational complexity.
Mark Brosnan, co-founder and CEO of Getvisibility, said, 'Our goal has always been to help customers secure their data. Joining Forcepoint allows us to accelerate that mission by providing real-time risk visibility and automated protection in the most complex environments.'
As part of the transition, Brosnan will serve as Global Engineering Lead for DSPM, while co-founder Ronan Murphy will become Chief Data Strategy Officer.
This acquisition is a key step in Forcepoint's mission to redefine data security in the AI era, where data moves quickly, and protection must move faster.
