Friday 7 July 2017 01:51 CET | News

Symantec has announced the acquisition of cybersecurity startup Fireglass to boost its products that protect corporate email and web browsing from threats.

Fireglass specializes in an area of security called browser isolation, a technology that creates virtual websites allowing users to browse any content without having viruses touch their network and this is an area that Symantec had been looking to enter for some time.

According to Symantec, healthcare companies, financial institutions, government and telecommunications firms have been early adopters of this technology.

The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of 2017.
