Cybersecurity firm Malwarebytes on Thursday announced the acquisition of AzireVPN, a Swedish company that sells privacy-focused VPN services.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Following the acquisition, Malwarebytes said the plan is to integrate AzireVPN’s VPN technologies and intellectual property into expanded product lines.
The company said AzireVPN’s strongest feature is Blind Operator, a tool that disables both remote and local access to its servers, preventing unwanted access to customer traffic.
“This creates a barrier against unauthorized modifications and traffic interception, making it virtually impossible for anyone to modify or tap the traffic on its servers and share any information about a user,” Malwarebytes said in a note announcing the deal.
The cybersecurity firm also says that it will continue AzireVPN’s practice of physically owning and controlling its dedicated and diskless servers.
Following the acquisition, the company said there will be no changes for either Malwarebytes Privacy VPN or AzireVPN customers.
