Proofpoint Enters into Definitive Agreement to Acquire InteliSecure; Augments People-Centric Managed Services Offering - Seite 2

“Organizations urgently need an effective strategy to safeguard data with new remote working environments and resource-constrained internal teams,” said Steven Drew, chief executive officer at InteliSecure. “With insider employees, contractors, or third-party carelessness causing nearly two-thirds of serious data loss incidents, joining the Proofpoint team will allow us to offer services to customers to better protect against accidental mistakes, attacks and insider risk—across cloud services, email, endpoint, and on-premises file shares.”

The acquisition of InteliSecure will add approximately 150 employees to Proofpoint’s growing global team and will boost Proofpoint’s ability to support its robust channel partner ecosystem’s service delivery and increase partners’ competitiveness by providing processes and experience from working with multiple vendors. Proofpoint will be actively adopting best practices in partner programs and relationships to best meet channel needs.

Contingent upon timely closing in March, Proofpoint expects InteliSecure to have the following contribution to its financial outlook for the full year 2021:

• Increase the revenue range by approximately $10 million.
• Reduce the Non-GAAP net income range by approximately $5 million, including impact of integration costs, accounting, and other transaction related adjustments.
• Approximately neutral impact to free cash flow.
  

For the first quarter of 2021, Proofpoint does not expect InteliSecure to have any material impact to its financial outlook for the quarter.
