The development comes months after ForgeRock said it had received notice from the DOJ demanding more information related to the go-private deal.

“We look forward to completing the review process with the Department of Justice and partnering with Thoma Bravo,” ForgeRock told Reuters on Monday.

The DOJ declined to comment when contacted by Reuters.

San Francisco-based ForgeRock provides identity and access management solutions for consumers, workforce and internet of things devices.

Thoma Bravo, which agreed to buy ForgeRock in October, invested in several software firms last year taking advantage of falling valuations, as a result of a broader equities selloff, triggered by high inflation and a tightening monetary policy.

The move comes at a time when distributed workforce and increased cyberattacks on businesses during the pandemic have boosted demand for digital security solutions, helping drive growth for companies like ForgeRock.
