Symantec Completes Acquisition of WholeSecurity
CUPERTINO, Calif. - Oct. 5, 2005 - Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC)
today announced the completion of its acquisition of WholeSecurity,
Inc., a leading provider of behavior-based
security and
anti-phishing technology. WholeSecurity
solutions protect PCs from
crimeware such as worms, Trojan horses, keystroke loggers, and
phishing attacks. WholeSecurity's products leverage behavioral
technology to protect users from these threats, whether they are
known or unknown, on both managed and unmanaged PCs. The
acquisition was announced on Sept. 22, 2005.
With phishing attacks, one of the fastest growing threats to online
transactions, and the risk of zero-day threats increasing,
consumers and enterprises require security
solutions that can
quickly detect malicious code based on the actions and
characteristics of each threat, without traditional signatures or
patches. The combination of WholeSecurity's behavior-based
technology with Symantec's industry leading information security,
availability, and integrity solutions is expected to enable
Symantec to bring real-time protection to consumer and enterprise
desktops.

guard against phishing scams and to protect unmanaged and remote
PCs, corporate managed PCs, and consumer e-commerce sessions.
