Symantec snaps up Wholesecurity
Symantec announces plans to purchase privately
held behavioural endpoint security solutions provider
WholeSecurity Inc.
WholeSecurity’s behavioural detection technology identifies
both known and unknown threats without requiring users to
install or update signatures, and can be used against
traditional malware threats such as viruses and worms, as
well as against phishing threats. WholeSecurity’s customers
include eBay, Deutsche Bank and Visa. Symantec plans to
offer standalone products using WholeSecurity’s technology
as well as incorporate it into its security software suites. The
acquisition is expected to complete later this month.
