A New Chapter Begins: Hornetsecurity Joins Proofpoint ✨
We’re proud to announce the successful completion of Proofpoint’s acquisition of Hornetsecurity. This is an important milestone that strengthens our shared commitment to delivering world-class, human- and agent-centric cybersecurity.
This strategic move brings together two market leaders with a unified vision: empowering MSPs and SMBs with the most effective, scalable protection for Microsoft 365 environments.
As Daniel Hofmann, Founder and CEO of Hornetsecurity, emphasized:
“Together, we’re uniquely positioned to deliver the most effective M365 security and data protection to MSPs around the world. Building on our time-tested channel-centric approach, our combined capabilities, shared threat intelligence, and aligned vision will drive a new level of innovation and value for our partners and customers globally.”
With Hornetsecurity now operating as Proofpoint’s dedicated MSP and SMB business unit, led by Hornetsecurity’s experienced leadership team, we’re excited to deepen our support for partners and customers, expand our global reach, and continue accelerating innovation.
This moment marks far more than an acquisition. It marks the beginning of a strengthened mission: protecting organizations of every size in an evolving, AI-driven threat landscape.
We look forward to delivering even greater value to our partners and customers worldwide. 🚀
