Symantec announced on Monday that it plans to acquire IT management software company Altiris, in a deal valued at approximately AU$830 million.
Almost a year after completing its acquisition of BindView, Symantec has launched the Control Compliance Suite, which is a set of software tools designed to help companies adhere to regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley.
Looking for further expansion, Symantec is considering delving into identity management, encryption and a range of managed services, the security giant's chief said on Monday.
Security company Symantec has leapt into the nascent market for securing instant messaging systems, announcing that it has agreed to acquire IMlogic, one of the sector's top players.
The company is making research a higher priority -- investing more resources in the group and aggressively developing technology in-house.
