Performance, Connectivity and Protection Thursday, August 19, 2010 at 8:05 am by George Kurtz
By now you have probably heard the news that McAfee has entered into a definitive agreement
to be acquired by Intel. I am really excited about this acquisition because security is as
important as energy efficient performance and connectivity when it comes to computing. The
combination of McAfee and Intel will significantly increase the protection for consumers and
organizations globally and lead to what I believe will be breakthrough security innovations.
Intel to date has focused on energy-efficient performance and Internet connectivity. Today Intel,
a name synonymous with innovation, has added security as a third pillar of focus. While you may
ask Why? It makes perfect sense to me. Given the current challenges in dealing with the
proliferation of virulent malware, bringing software closer to silicon will provide a real
advantage for consumers and businesses. Beating back the tide of malware proliferation by changing
the game on the bad guys is an exciting proposition.
As mentioned in the official announcement, upon closing of the transaction McAfee will become a
division of Intels Software and Services group. You may be surprised that Intel has a software
group, when you commonly think of them as a hardware company. In fact, McAfee is a perfect fit
with the Intel acquisition of Wind River, a leader in embedded and mobile software.
McAfees strategy of protecting the multitude of devices such as ATMs, printers, digital copiers,
and cars fits with helping organizations better manage and protect the IP enabled mobile and
embedded devices that run Wind River embedded and mobile software. This also dovetails nicely with
McAfees acquisition of Solidcore, a leader in dynamic whitelisting technology that already
provides protection for millions of embedded devices.
Obviously we are very early on in the process, but our commitment to provide world-class protection
on any platform continues. The only people that should be nervous about this acquisition are the
bad guys. Stay tuned for more info....
