Symantec vahvistaa osaamista salaustuotteissa - ostaa PGP Corporation ja GuardianEdge Technologies –yhtiöt

On April 29, 2010, Symantec announced it has signed definitive agreements to acquire PGP Corporation and GuardianEdge Technologies, Inc., two privately-held encryption software companies. These acquisitions will enhance Symantec's ability to make data protection more intelligent and policy-driven, enabling control over ownership, usage, encryption, archival and backup - for a complete data protection solution that customers require today.

With PGP's comprehensive product portfolio that includes full disk, file, folder, email, mobile, and removable media encryption with an integrated key management solution, Symantec will have the broadest set of encryption capabilities across all major customer segments from the largest enterprises and governments to small business and individuals.
Following the close of these transactions, Symantec intends to bring together key features and functionality from each company's offerings and standardize on PGP's key management platform in order to deliver centralized policy and key management capabilities across the entire suite of encryption solutions. Symantec also intends to integrate PGP's key management platform into the Symantec Protection Center, which simplifies security information management by providing customers consolidated access to threat, security and operational dashboards and reporting. Integrating PGP's key management platform into the Symantec Protection Center will further enhance existing integration into endpoint security, data loss prevention and gateway security products. Integrating encryption technologies and PGP's key management platform into the Symantec portfolio will help customers better protect sensitive information regardless of where it is created, used or stored, while providing a consistent key management experience.
PGP and GuardianEdge solutions are ideal for Symantec's worldwide partner distribution network. PGP's customer base crosses enterprise, small and medium business, and individuals. GuardianEdge provides strength in government segments requiring hard disk and removable media encryption. The addition of encryption offerings will help you differentiate your business and provide up-sell and cross-sell opportunities as customers seek to conduct business with fewer vendors.

Until the acquisition closes, Symantec, PGP and GuardianEdge will continue to operate as separate companies, developing and delivering products as usual. Symantec's number one focus is satisfying our customers, and we are fully committed to making the transition as smooth as possible.

To learn more about these proposed acquisitions, I encourage you to log into PartnerNet for additional information. During the coming months we will be focused on jointly setting a combined roadmap, and you can expect to hear more from us as this is finalized.
