NetMotion Software, formerly NetMotion Wireless, is a privately held software company specializing in network security.[5][6]

History

NetMotion Wireless was formed in 2001 as a spin-off for wireless software from WRQ (based in Seattle, Washington and later part of the Attachmate Group). Former WRQ president Craig McKibben was CEO.[7]

  • 2006: NetMotion merged with Padcom, Inc.[8]
  • 2012: NetMotion was acquired by Clearlake Capital Group.[9]
  • 2016: NetMotion was acquired by The Carlyle Group,[10][11][12][13][14] with a new CEO.[15][14]

In 2021, NetMotion was acquired by Absolute Software for an estimated US$340 million.[16]

NetMotion is headquartered in Seattle, Washington with offices in Chicago, London, Tokyo and Sydney. The company added a second headquarters in Victoria, British Columbia in 2019.[17]

Products

NetMotion products allow users to transition from traditional secure remote access technologies to a zero-trust approach, without affecting productivity or admin controls.[18] Fundamentally, it consists of client software on each mobile device, which communicates with a control server in the cloud or data center that pushes policies and actions to the client for execution.[19] Through this architecture that gives administrators control of the endpoints, they can manage application delivery based on changing network conditions through software, regardless of the combination of networks used,[20] including cellular and Wi-Fi networks that are outside of their direct administrative control.[19]

An enhanced filtering feature named Aware was added in 2019.[21] In July, 2020, a new release of the software added the term software-defined perimeter (SDP).[22] In late 2020, NetMotion’s products were marketed with the term secure access service edge.[23]
