Plurilock Expands Its Product Line
CloudCodes' CASB solution will be added to Plurilock's product line and renamed Plurilock Cloud, the companies said. Plurilock Cloud will be integrated into the company's Plurilock Adapt login authentication product.
In addition, CloudCodes' team will join Plurilock, the companies stated. This team will be able to leverage Plurilock's financial resources, security, IT technology and artificial intelligence capabilities and expertise to bolster its operations.
CloudCodes also allows Plurilock to enter the CASB market, the companies noted. This could help Plurilock extend its global cybersecurity market reach and boost its revenues.
