Global data security leader Forcepoint has announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Getvisibility, a pioneering company in AI-driven Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and Data Detection and Response (DDR).
Forcepoint’s Data Security Everywhere platform provides unified visibility and control over sensitive data, and the integration of Getvisibility’s technology enhances the platform’s capabilities to identify and mitigate data risks more effectively. This acquisition strengthens the synergy between the two companies, simplifying security management, improving risk mitigation, and accelerating compliance for enterprise and government customers.
The agreement builds upon an already successful multi-year partnership, further embedding Getvisibility’s AI-powered risk visibility and remediation capabilities within Forcepoint’s comprehensive data security solutions. By enhancing interoperability between Getvisibility’s DSPM and DDR features and the Data Security Everywhere framework, Forcepoint facilitates seamless data discovery, classification, prioritization, remediation, and protection. This includes safeguarding personally identifiable information (PII), intellectual property, and other critical assets across hybrid and AI-driven environments.
For over two years, Getvisibility’s DSPM and AI-mesh technology—a coordinated network of specialized AI models designed for enhanced accuracy and speed in data classification and risk detection—has played a crucial role in Forcepoint’s data security strategy. Leveraging Getvisibility’s solutions, customers and partners gain deep insights into data risks such as redundant and obsolete data, improper access, misplaced files, and regulatory exposure.
With integrated AI, Getvisibility’s DDR capabilities automate classification and enable dynamic remediation, allowing organizations to address threats proactively before they escalate. This acquisition strengthens that integration, delivering a security framework that continuously adapts to how users access, share, and interact with data across devices, cloud applications, and generative AI platforms.
“Data is the new currency of business, and every organization is racing to unlock its value while minimizing risk,” said Ryan Windham, CEO of Forcepoint. “By further integrating Getvisibility’s AI-driven DSPM and DDR into our portfolio, Forcepoint is equipping enterprises and governments with the visibility, automation, and adaptive controls needed to transform data security from a compliance obligation into a strategic advantage. This acquisition reinforces our commitment to helping organizations protect sensitive data at scale while turning security into a driver of growth and innovation.”

Managing data risk is a critical factor in an organization’s success. Businesses rely on data for accurate insights, informed decision-making, innovation, and competitive advantage. The loss of proprietary and sensitive data extends beyond regulatory fines and remediation costs—currently averaging $5 million per data breach. Industry analysts predict that by 2025, class action lawsuit costs stemming from breaches will exceed regulatory fines by 50%. Given this rising threat landscape, mitigating data vulnerabilities is more crucial than ever.
“With data surging throughout the cloud and GenAI systems increasing the risk of exposure, organizations struggle to pinpoint the exact location and sensitivity of their data while ensuring adequate protection,” said Frank Dickson, Group Vice President for Cybersecurity Products at IDC. “They are moving away from siloed security products and seeking integrated solutions that unify visibility and control, thereby reducing complexity, cost, and risk.”
Advancing AI-Driven Data Security in the Digital Age
Forcepoint’s Data Security Everywhere framework standardizes security policies across AI websites, endpoints, email, SaaS applications, and custom environments. The enhanced integration of Getvisibility’s DSPM and DDR capabilities provides organizations with:
- Proactive risk visibility: Continuous discovery and classification of sensitive data across SaaS, cloud, and on-premises environments.
- Real-time threat mitigation: Automated enforcement of security policies across Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Web Security, and Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools.
- Adaptive security controls: AI-powered policy enforcement that dynamically protects sensitive data across AI platforms (e.g., ChatGPT Enterprise, Copilot, Gemini) and enterprise applications.
“From day one, our mission has been to help organizations understand their data risks—because you can’t secure what you don’t see. Real-time risk mitigation is key to preventing breaches before they happen,” said Ronan Murphy, Co-founder of Getvisibility. “By joining forces with data security’s original architects, Forcepoint, we’re amplifying our AI-powered insights to help customers and partners pinpoint risk, protecting critical data assets with accuracy and speed that redefine industry standards.”
With this acquisition, Forcepoint is setting a new benchmark in AI-driven data security, empowering organizations to secure their most valuable assets, maintain compliance, and stay ahead of emerging cyber threats. Further details on the integration of Getvisibility within Forcepoint’s Data Security Everywhere portfolio will be announced later this year following the completion of the acquisition.
