Nom… Nom… Nom… As the LOLcats would say. Symantec announced they will be acquiring MessageLabs (the security in the cloud chaps, in modern marketing parlance). That gives them topcat position in the SaaS security segment.
“MessageLabs is the number-one provider of online messaging security worldwide with more than eight million end users at more than 19,000 clients ranging from small business to the Fortune 500. Symantec will capitalize on cross-selling and up-selling its existing SaaS offerings of backup, storage and online remote access into the MessageLabs customer base. And future SaaS offerings, leveraging Symantec technology in data loss prevention, compliance, endpoint security and archiving, will be enhanced by MessageLabs’ expertise in SaaS sales, operations and support.
Says their press release (Symantec to Extend Online Services with Acquisition of MessageLabs). I think that means “all your customers are belong to us“. Sorry, it is pretty much Friday, right?
