Complete Press Release

Oxford, UK, June [9] 2015, Sophos today announced that it has acquired Reflexion Networks Inc., a leader in cloud-based email security, archiving, email encryption and business continuity services. The acquisition will enable Sophos to add cloud-based email security to Sophos Cloud, the company’s single, integrated cloud-based management console. Together, Reflexion and Sophos will deliver enterprise-grade email security in one affordable and simple-to-manage solution.

Reflexion Networks offers a complete portfolio of cloud-based email security technologies that help organizations meet their needs for secure communications. Reflexion Total Control blocks spam and viruses before they ever get to the corporate network. Archiving, discovery, and recovery services allow fast search and retrieval capabilities, while encryption services ensure that email communications are only readable by intended recipients. In addition, Reflexion offers business continuity services to ensure uninterrupted business communications in the event of an outage.

Sophos Cloud, which was launched in mid-2013, provides endpoint security, mobile device management and security, server security, and application whitelisting through a single, integrated cloud-based console.

“The Reflexion platform has been built from the ground up to run in the cloud at scale and will strengthen and accelerate our ability to offer email protection when and where the customer wants it,” commented Bill Lucchini, senior vice president of Sophos Cloud Security Group. “As we integrate this technology with Sophos Cloud it will complement our Sophos Secure Email Appliance giving IT professionals the choice of a cloud-based solution, or an on-premise solution. We are excited about the opportunity this brings and welcome the Reflexion Networks team to Sophos.”
