  1. Re:How is it strange? on Symantec to Buy Veritas · · Score: 1

    Security is not defined by just blocking some ports and making sure worms don't infect computers, ESPECIALLY in the IT enterprise arena.

    Data integrity is crucial in the modern enterprise, especially with SOX and other auditing measures in place. Backups are an integral part of data integrity, as well as important for leaving trails for auditing. You better believe that our backup procedures are being scrutinized in my company's SOX compliance process.

    Symantec is obviously always looking for ways to grow their company and take advantage of the current state of IT enterprise requirements. Veritas rounds out Symantec's product suite, allowing them entrance into many aspects of the enterprise market.

    Yes, I know I'm a parrot with the word "enterprise", but it's KEY to remember that this is what it's all about, and where all the money is. :p

    This makes Symantec a one-stop shop for all things IT enterprise/security related: anti-virus, anti-spam, data recovery, network security, etc.
