Splashtop, a leader in remote IT solutions that simplify and secure the work-anywhere world, announces today that it has acquired Foxpass, a provider of cloud-based, identity-centric network and server access solutions for IT and DevOps systems. The acquisition underscores Splashtop’s commitment to democratizing security for businesses of all sizes – especially small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and managed service providers (MSPs) that are challenged by the cost and complexity of modern security solutions.
The strategic acquisition marks an important step for Splashtop as it builds out a robust remote access and security offering, and enables the company to address the needs of a key segment of the market interested in elevating their security postures with powerful, enterprise-class Wi-Fi and server access management solutions.
“The past few years have dramatically changed the ways that people and organizations work. As businesses continue to embrace the benefits of hybrid work, the risks to cybersecurity have only accelerated, and SMBs have become easy targets,” said Mark Lee, CEO of Splashtop. “We see identity management as a key foundation of security. There are natural synergies between Splashtop and Foxpass that will ensure companies can remain productive while addressing modern security challenges. Foxpass management has built a world-class solution set and a world-class culture, and we are thrilled to be able to bring the team on board.”
Foxpass delivers a secure server and network access management solution that integrates seamlessly with popular identity providers, including Microsoft O365, Google Workspace, and Okta, while its cloud RADIUS Server platform integrates with major Wi-Fi access point and virtual private network (VPN) providers, including Meraki, Ruckus, Apple, Aruba, Fortinet, Ubiquiti and others. Its industry-leading platform supports modern, password-less mechanisms to ensure that employees do not share passwords and can access only the servers and networks they need, and only when needed.
The Foxpass brand and product lines will remain intact and a part of Splashtop’s expanded suite of leading secure IT solutions, enabling customers to leverage the combination of Splashtop’s high-performance remote access and support with Foxpass’s scalable identity-centric security platform. Both Foxpass and Splashtop are SOC2 compliant.
As part of the acquisition, Splashtop will retain Foxpass employees and will invest significant resources to accelerate the Foxpass product roadmap. Hundreds of existing Foxpass customers, including Lyft, Segment, HackerOne and One Medical will join Splashtop’s roster of more than 250,000 customers. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
