After a multi-year partnership, HP has announced that it will acquire Bromium in an effort to bolster its endpoint security capabilities.
California-based Bromium was found by former Citrix executives back in 2011 and the company specializes in deploying virtualization to provide endpoint security.
HP currently licenses Bromium’s technology to power its Sure Click malware protection which uses virtual containers to isolate untrusted files and websites.
