European cybersecurity company Outpost24 is opening a new R&D center in Israel after acquiring Infinipoint, a startup that focuses on identity and access security. Infinipoint’s technology checks devices in real time before they are allowed into a company’s network.
The companies didn’t reveal the exact deal value, but market estimates suggest it is worth tens of millions of dollars. All 16 Infinipoint employees will move to Outpost24 and become part of its new Israeli hub.
With this acquisition, Infinipoint’s technology for checking and verifying devices is being added to Specops, which is Outpost24’s identity security division. This will strengthen Specops by giving it the ability to assess a device’s security posture before allowing access.
The integration is designed to solve a growing challenge in hybrid workplaces, where employees often log in from personal or unmanaged devices. This added layer of verification helps keep corporate systems safe.
Infinipoint’s system constantly checks whether a device is safe and trustworthy at the exact moment someone tries to access a system. It automatically runs security checks and fixes issues when needed.
This allows companies to grant or deny access based not only on who the user is, but also on the real-time security condition of the device they’re using. This makes access decisions much safer.
Outpost24, based in Sweden and led by Israeli CEO Ido Erlichman, works with over 3,500 organizations across Europe and North America. Erlichman became CEO in July 2024 after previously leading Teddy Sagi’s Kape Technologies. Outpost24 was bought by Vitruvian Partners in 2022.
“Integrating Infinipoint’s capabilities into the Specops platform sets a new standard in secure organizational access,” Erlichman said. “This move … adds a new R&D center in Israel, one of the world’s most advanced cyber hubs.”
“Together, we will create a security layer that enables organizations to implement Zero Trust seamlessly,” Lampert said, adding that the new R&D center in Israel will continue to grow and serve customers globally.
