WatchGuard acquires BorderWare

Toronto-based BorderWare Technologies is a provider of email and web security content. It also provides threat management platforms for mid-sized enterprises, government and service providers.

No immediate changes will be made to BorderWare product offerings, customer support and channel programs. Future new products from WatchGuard or BorderWare will be announced upon their availability.

Both WatchGuard Technologies and BorderWare Technologies are privately held. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

“By acquiring BorderWare's best in class messaging, content security and innovative ‘in-the-cloud' security offerings, customers will now have a single source for comprehensive and complete security.”
