VANCOUVER, British Columbia—(March 25, 2025)—Plurilock Security Inc. (TSXV: PLUR) (OTCQB: PLCKF) (“Plurilock”), a global cybersecurity services and solutions provider, announced a strategic partnership with Forcepoint, a global data security leader, to expand cybersecurity capabilities and enhance service offerings for customers in North America.
Through this collaboration, Plurilock and Forcepoint will leverage their respective strengths to provide comprehensive cybersecurity solutions to a broader customer base. Plurilock’s expertise in delivering tailored cybersecurity services, including penetration testing and Zero Trust implementations, complements Forcepoint’s unified data security platform, creating a well-rounded and scalable approach to protecting employees and critical data everywhere.
Plurilock leverages Forcepoint’s Data Security Everywhere solutions to support its Critical Services business, helping organizations secure sensitive data and implement robust security frameworks. This deeper collaboration drives additional joint projects and strengthens both companies’ market positions. Plurilock is currently an authorized Forcepoint partner and is actively working towards an elevated partnership level to expand its capabilities.
“Businesses aren’t just generating more data—they’re moving it across clouds, devices and AI models faster than ever. That creates risk,” said Rick Hanson, President, Go-to-Market at Forcepoint. “Plurilock is helping enterprises navigate this challenge by delivering Forcepoint’s Data Security Everywhere platform, making it easier to manage risk without adding complexity. Together, we’re equipping businesses across North America with AI-powered data security solutions that provide clarity, context and control for sensitive data, wherever it moves.”
Forcepoint is consistently ranked among the top data security platforms globally and serves over 12,000 enterprise and government organizations across more than 150 countries. The company’s Data Security Everywhere platform integrates AI Mesh, a network of small language models, to continuously discover data, prioritize risk and adapt controls in real time. Forcepoint’s full-lifecycle architecture connects DSMP, DDR, DLP, CASB, and SWG into one intelligent system that enforces unified policies and continuously stops threats before they happen.
The partnership will enable Plurilock to enhance service to existing customers—including large commercial enterprises and public sector clients—while extending Forcepoint’s reach into new high-growth markets.
Through this partnership, Plurilock has joined Forcepoint’s tiered Partner Program, gaining access to tailored benefits based on performance and engagement. As Plurilock continues to expand its high-margin cybersecurity services, this collaboration is expected to play a key role in driving further growth and customer success.
The partnership has already resulted in direct referrals and closed business, demonstrating the value of Forcepoint’s extensive global presence and customer network. Plurilock now benefits from:
