Cloudrise, a data-security company headquartered in Grand Junction, has been acquired by Paris-based Exclusive Networks, a global leader in cybersecurity with offices in more than 45 countries and the ability to serve customers in more than 170 countries.

Exclusive Networks announced the acquisition Nov. 21 in a news release, saying it acquired 100 percent of Cloudrise, a security-services provider specializing in managed services and professional services for leading Security Access Service Edge, Data Security Posture Management, and Cloud Native Application Protection Platform solutions.

The acquisition marks a further step in Exclusive Networks’ strategy to enrich its global service capabilities by leveraging Cloudrise’s advanced expertise with some of the fastest-growing cybersecurity vendors, such as Netskope, BigID and Cyera.

Cloudrise will continue to operate under its established brand within the Exclusive Networks ecosystem, maintaining its focus on innovation and client satisfaction.

Clients and partners of both organizations will benefit from Exclusive Networks’ infrastructure, global reach and robust service delivery, combined with Cloudrise’s specialized focus on SASE, DSPM and CNAPP services.

Cloudrise was founded in 2019 by Chief Executive Officer Rob Eggebrecht, Chief Operating Officer Joe Infantino and Chief Operating Officer Hillary Laird. The company maintains delivery centers in the U.S., United Kingdom and Colombia.

Eggebrecht said Cloudrise is excited to join the Exclusive Networks family, adding, “Together, we are well-positioned to empower more organizations to safeguard their most valuable assets and navigate the ever-changing cybersecurity environment.”

Cloudrise’s services are offered exclusively to businesses. It does not reveal its customers, but they usually are 1,000-plus-user organizations to Fortune 100 enterprises, and Cloudrise targets: financial services; life sciences and healthcare; consumer industries; and technology, media and telecom companies.
