WatchGuard Technologies announced last June 2, 2020, the completion of its acquisition of endpoint protection provider Panda Security. The acquisition allows joint customers to consolidate security service from network to endpoint under one entity. Originally announced in March this year, the acquisition means that Panda is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of WatchGuard and that the immediate goal of the now-combined companies is to provide stakeholders access to a newly expanded portfolio of security solutions.
“Our customers and partners need access to enterprise-grade security built for the unique needs and requirements of the midmarket,” says WatchGuard Technologies chief executive officer Prakash Panjwani.
“WatchGuard is focused on delivering these security services via an MSP-focused security platform that simplifies every aspect of security delivery, and solidifying our position as the de facto security solution for the midmarket.
“The completed acquisition of Panda Security, and the subsequent integration of its portfolio into WatchGuard Cloud, will result in both immediate and long-term benefits for our customers and partners that will address common challenges with security complexity, rapidly changing network topologies, purchasing models, and more.”
