Symantec's CEO claims the company stopped being an anti-virus firm six years ago and explains why Microsoft does not cost him any sleep.
In a long-rumoured move, security software maker Symantec said Thursday that it will buy storage specialist Veritas Software in a deal worth roughly US$13.5 billion.
A senior Veritas Software executive has given strong indication that its products and accompanying brands should remain intact despite an impending change in ownership.
Symantec's CEO isn't bothered my Microsoft's push into security software, as he is confident his firm's products are superior.
The new millennium was the year Microsoft was ordered to bifurcate, dot-coms tanked on Wall Street, WorldCom's Bernie Ebbers saw his merger mania capped and Napster scared the recording industry nearly to death. 2000 was a cascading waterfall of events that ended any doubts about the Net's ability to change the way we think, learn, play and do business.
Without diversity in security software for Windows, computers running the Microsoft operating system will be sitting ducks, Symantec CEO John Thompson warns.
Mergers and buyouts are muddying the lines between security and other industries. Will purely security-focused providers be a thing of the past?
Supersize me. If technology companies ranging from software powerhouse Oracle to fast-growing Net hotshot Skype could share a motto, it would be that oft-ridiculed fast-food pitch.
Security industry watcher Jon Oltsik says the business is undergoing profound changes, and not all players are created equal.
