Fighting malware and spam

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.
