Forcepoint acquires RedOwl

Forcepoint, the cybersecurity company created by Raytheon through a deal with Websense, said today it has acquired security analytics company RedOwl.

RedOwl focuses on capabilities "that provide visibility into the holistic activities of people, including cyber, physical and financial," Forcepoint said. "Customers deploy these capabilities to analyze large amounts of complex data, assess high-risk events and behaviors, and enact centralized and supervisory oversight to satisfy both security and regulatory requirements."

RedOwl's technology and workforce will become part of Forcepoint's data and insider threat security business.

The company did not disclose the terms of the deal.
