0 Comments 01 August 2008

Lending further to our theory [here ] that Vericept is left wallflowering at the DLP dance, McAfee announced their acquisition of Reconnex for $46 million. According to the reports, McAfee plans to hook the client-side application into ePolicy Orchestrator by next year, truely trying to make good on their promise of ePO being the one ring to rule them all.

Now, all the major players  (CA , Symantec , RSA)  have a DLP play. How long untli this feature actually starts to get baked into the existing product footprints? Symantec has already openly stated a desire to wrap Vontu into the Endpoint Protection client, will they beat McAfee's drive of putting DLP on the endpoint in 2009?
