Cybersecurity company Bitdefender reached an agreement to purchase Mesh Security, an email security solutions provider. Mesh’s email security technology and capabilities will be integrated into Bitdefender’s XDR platform and MDR services.
Specifically, the acquisition will incorporate Mesh email security capabilities into Bitdefender’s GravityZone unified security, compliance and risk-analytics platform. Mesh employs a dual-layered approach to email security, combining perimeter-based protection via a secure email gateway, with mailbox-level defense through API-based deployment. This model extends threat visibility to all vectors, and contributes telemetry to Bitdefender’s global threat intelligence network.
A cornerstone of Bitdefender’s continued growth is through its global network of over 41,000 channel and MSP partners. Mesh enhances this value by offering a centralized platform optimized for MSPs, enabling efficient multi-tenant email security management. Its solution provides 24×7 protection while reducing operational overhead. With automated policy enforcement, real-time threat insights, and seamless integration into existing workflows, Mesh empowers MSPs to deliver effective, scalable protection to customers.
“We are pleased to announce our intent to acquire Mesh, a strategic move that will complement our GravityZone XDR platform and power our MDR service to help businesses combat email-borne threats as they continue to evolve,” said Bitdefender business solutions group president and GM, Andrei Florescu. “Mesh brings leading-edge innovation from a deeply experienced team that shares our commitment to effective, real-world security. Together, we will further strengthen our ability to provide proven and trusted email protection to our global customer base.”
“This is the beginning of something even bigger,” said Mesh CEO, Brian Byrne. “We’ve always focused on building practical, powerful email security that just works—and Bitdefender shares that same mindset. We’re excited to join forces and bring stronger protection to even more organizations.”
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.
