Endpoint Security Buyer’s Guide<\/a> helps you evaluate the best solution for your use case and features profiles of the leading solution providers and their key capabilities.<\/div>\nMeanwhile, Broadcom designs, develops, manufactures, and supplies semiconductors and infrastructure software solutions. Previously, their portfolio focused on data centers, networking, and broadband. However, their recent acquisitions reflect a desire to move more into cybersecurity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nLast year, Broadcom Inc. acquired IAM solution provider CA Technologies for $18 billion.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhat the (Potential) Broadcom Acquisition of Symantec Could Mean for Cybersecurity<\/b><\/h4>\n
Potentially quite a lot. The recent slate of acquisitions of cybersecurity solution providers indicates not only market savvy; also, it indicates that investors recognize the <\/span>increased demand of cybersecurity now and over the next several years.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\nMoreover, the acquisition of Symantec, in particular, indicates the continued importance of the digital perimeter as protected by endpoint security. Recently, cybersecurity experts began declaring identity as the new digital perimeter for the enterprise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhile this often proves true, identity security doesn\u2019t necessarily protect against malware species such as ransomware or fileless malware. Malware still constitutes a major threat to enterprise security\u2014the recent headlines of ransomware damaging local government networks states as much.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nTherefore, endpoint security solutions continually evolve their capabilities to keep up with the constant evolution of cyber threats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSo Broadcom\u2019s acquisition of Symantec makes sense as an investment. But Broadcom\u2019s previous acquisition of CA Technologies may also indicate a desire to blend the two kinds of digital perimeters.<\/span><\/p>\nWhether Broadcom does so through blending the solutions, their purchases highlight a simple truth: your enterprise needs a sophisticated digital perimeter. It must defend against identity threats and against external threats like malware. You need to determine whether your identity security solution needs integration with endpoint security to defend against the latter.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nBroadcom\u2019s investments indicate what they believe enterprises will need in the next few years. Following them might help guide your solution decision making.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
