Swedish multinational networking and telecommunications company Ericsson has acquired N.J.-based cloud security solutions provider Ericom for an undisclosed sum. Ericsson
completed the buyout through Cradlepoint, its U.S.-based technology
company that specializes in cloud-managed wireless edge networking
equipment.
- The
deal allows Cradlepoint to expand its enterprise wireless solutions
portfolio by embedding Ericom features into its Cradlepoint NetCloud
Threat Defense cloud service.
- Cradlepoint
will also leverage Ericom’s secure access service edge (SASE)
capabilities, including secure web gateway (SWG), zero-trust network
access (ZTNA), and cloud access security broker (CASB) to enable users
to enforce security policies for their data and applications.
- According to a company press release,
Ericom’s deep expertise in remote access and cloud-delivered web
security aid in Cradlepoint’s strategy to build and enhance its
full-stack enterprise security service optimized for 5G.
