Bitdefender snaps Mesh Security in email protection push

Business Forum
Romanian cybersecurity company Bitdefender has acquired Mesh Security Limited, a provider of advanced email security solutions, for an undisclosed sum.

This strategic acquisition aims to integrate Mesh's email security technology and capabilities into Bitdefender's existing extended detection and response (XDR) platform and managed detection and response (MDR) services.

The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.

Andrei Florescu, President and General Manager of Bitdefender Business Solutions Group, said: “Mesh brings leading-edge innovation from a deeply experienced team that shares our commitment to effective, real-world security. Together, we will further strengthen our ability to provide proven and trusted email protection to our global customer base.”

Email continues to be the most exploited attack vector for threats such as ransomware, phishing, and business email compromise (BEC). 

The FBI Internet Crime Report 2024 revealed that businesses incurred nearly $2.8 billion in losses due to BEC scams in 2024.
