OPSWAT Acquires Impulse Network Access Control Solutions -

OPSWAT, a critical infrastructure cybersecurity provider, has purchased network access control (NAC) solutions company Impulse for an undisclosed sum. It has acquired Impulse's products and teams as part of the transaction.

OPSWAT will maintain Impulse's office in Tampa, Florida, the companies stated. This office will serve as OPSWAT's East Coast hub and be integrated into the company's global support team.

Meanwhile, the Impulse acquisition enables OPSWAT to deliver an end-to-end NAC solution, the companies said. OPSWAT also has incorporated Impulse Secure Device Access into its MetaAccess endpoint security solution.

What Is MetaAccess?

MetaAccess provides endpoint access to cloud applications, OPSWAT indicated. It confirms that an organization's devices comply with security policies before accessing cloud applications and provides visibility into these applications via a single pane of glass.

Furthermore, MetaAccess works in combination with existing and legacy security solutions or out of the box with single sign-on services. MSSPs also can join OPSWAT's channel partner program to integrate MetaAccess and other OPSWAT security solutions into their portfolios.
