Symantec now wears a Blue Coat

Symantec has completed it’s purchase of Blue Coat Systems, announced a couple of months ago. Their press-release quotes the new CEO, Greg Clark (previously CEO of Blue Coat).

“At a time when the world faces more threats than it’s ever encountered before, I couldn’t be more confident in our ability to deliver what our customers need or more honored to lead Symantec’s next chapter of innovation and growth. With Blue Coat now part of Symantec, we are well positioned to solve the industry’s most difficult challenges of securing a mobile workforce, protecting the cloud and stopping advanced threats.

Since announcing the transaction, our integration planning teams have been working diligently to capture the strengths of both companies. With our increased scale, portfolio and resources, large enterprises can now look to Symantec as a single strategic source for integrated solutions across endpoints, cloud and infrastructure to defend against sophisticated attacks and create a stronger, more cost-efficient security posture.” – Greg Clark, CEO, Symantec
