Symantec To Buy Sygate
Larry Hooper writes in CRN.com:
Symantec Tuesday said that it has agreed to acquire network access control vendor Sygate Technologies. Terms of the deal, subject to approvals, were not disclosed.
Sygate's technology will allow Symantec to offer a solution that addresses security, compliance and remediation requirements of today's large enterprises, the company said.
Sygate’s network access control products enforce security by ensuring that all devices connected to a network are running the appropriate security solutions, are configured correctly and possess up-to-date patches.
Once the deal closes, Symantec AntiVirus and Symantec Client Security customers will be able to license and deploy Sygate's Network Access Control (SNAC) agent to provide endpoint compliance, Symantec said. The company also plans to integrate its remediation capabilities such as LiveUpdate and LiveState Patch Manager and its data availability solutions into a more robust endpoint compliance solution.
