 Red Sift has acquired global Attack Surface Management (ASM) firm Hardenize. Terms were not disclosed.

The goal is to extend Red Sift’s security products “beyond protecting email," says Rahul Powar, CEO of Red Sift. 

Powar says Hardenize enables the Red Sift platform to gain a “comprehensive view of an organization’s digital footprint, allowing customers to better understand and protect their entire critical attack surface area in the face of an ever-evolving threat environment.”

Hardenize CEO Ivan Ristic says Hardenize’s “ability to align organizations’ digital assets to recognized security frameworks and standards complements Red Sift’s advanced email security capabilities to provide a single solution that protects organizations from being vulnerable to attackers.” 

“Having enjoyed a strong strategic partnership with Red Sift for some time now, it’s exciting to see them make the move towards greater attack surface protection,” comments Chris Bailey, vice president of strategy and business development at Entrust. “The ways in which attackers look to infiltrate organizations are always multiplying, but the vectors they use remain largely the same.”
