HelpSystems is Now Fortra: A Stronger Identity for a Unified Cybersecurity Future
HelpSystems has officially rebranded as Fortra, marking a significant shift in its mission to simplify and strengthen cybersecurity worldwide. The Fortra cybersecurity rebrand reflects the company’s evolution into a unified cybersecurity and automation provider, offering customers a more powerful and integrated line of defense.
While HelpSystems has long been known for supporting customers through enhanced cybersecurity and automation solutions, the transition to Fortra signals a bold step forward. The new name is designed to evoke security and protection, aligning with the company’s ongoing strategy to meet the increasing complexity of the threat landscape.
The rebrand comes shortly after Fortra’s acquisition of Tripwire, further strengthening its security portfolio and making it the right moment to launch a new message. With this expanded foundation, Fortra is positioning itself as a single provider with the strength, expertise, and integration capabilities to support organisations of all sizes.
“The cybersecurity industry is always changing, and we’re evolving along with it,” said Kate Bolseth, CEO of Fortra. “This is a pivotal, exciting moment for us as we define a new, bold path forward. Our team is rallying behind this movement to help customers tackle difficult security challenges and reduce the constant stress they face. We want customers to see Fortra as a trusted cybersecurity ally.”
Fortra now employs more than 3,000 staff across 18 countries, serving over 30,000 global customers. The company’s focus on cybersecurity and automation has led to a rich portfolio, including well-known acquisitions such as Alert Logic, Digital Guardian, Core Security, Tripwire, PhishLabs, GoAnywhere, Titus, and others.
The Fortra cybersecurity rebrand also reflects its expanded threat research capabilities, with over 350 experts delivering actionable intelligence and strengthening its platforms through continuous integration of emerging threat data.
Fortra remains committed to providing people-first support and world-class solutions, making cybersecurity stronger and simpler than ever before.
