NinjaOne has announced its acquisition of Dropsuite, a SaaS backup provider, for $252 million, expected to close in the first half of 2025. This acquisition aims to integrate Dropsuite's data protection suite into NinjaOne's automated endpoint management platform, enhancing the ability of IT organizations to defend against threats such as ransomware and accidental data loss. According to CEO Sal Sferlazza, this move reflects the evolving nature of endpoints as users increasingly rely on SaaS apps, necessitating robust management across various devices and applications.
We are watching the concept of an 'endpoint' evolve from a device to a user in real time. The growth of SaaS applications, BYOD, and the move to remote and hybrid work have transformed customer expectations for endpoint management platforms.
Organizations must protect and manage not only the personal and professional devices used by customers and employees but also the applications they use.
By integrating Dropsuite into its own endpoint management platform, NinjaOne said customers will benefit from extended data protection to secure both SaaS application and physical device data.
The acquisition will enable IT organizations and MSPs to better defend against catastrophic events such as ransomware, as well as common IT issues such as accidental deletion and data archiving.
