WatchGuard Technologies, a leading global provider of network security and intelligence, secure Wi-Fi and multi-factor authentication, announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Panda Security, a leading global provider in advanced endpoint protection.

Under its current leadership team, WatchGuard has continued to deliver on its vision of providing a complete security portfolio of products and services that protect users both inside and beyond the network perimeter, including secure Wi-Fi solutions, multi-factor authentication, and now most recently, user-focused security services.

"As a result, network security, advanced endpoint protection, multi-factor authentication, secure networking, and threat detection and response capabilities are consistently ranked as top security investment areas by IT decision-makers and IT solution providers who serve them," said Prakash Panjwani, CEO of WatchGuard.

Uniquely powered by a combination of automated, AI-driven processes and security analyst-led investigation services, Panda Security was the first endpoint protection platform vendor to offer a 100% attestation service, certifying the legitimacy and safety of all running applications.

"In the short term, the acquisition of Panda Security makes best-in-class endpoint detection and response, threat hunting, endpoint AV, email security, patching, and data compliance and encryption accessible to our customer base through a trusted vendor and their IT solution provider of choice," continued Panjwani.
