Security industry news in general ...

Big_Buck

Two topic I have been following since few months ...

https://www.forbes.com/sites/richardstiennon/2020/03/16/the-demise-of-symantec/#234681845fc7

Well.  Soon saying your leaving, unsatisfied, a supplier for another one, will mean nothing ...

Essentialy, Barracuda, Imperva, Veracode and LogRhytm are now under the same umbrella.  You can expect to see all platform sharing some components like AV engines for example.  Pretty soon, the differences will be on the lip stick only.

Symantec, as we know it, is dead.  Norton Lifelock, will migrate deeper in the cloud solution.

So, if you have desktops, you'll find it hard to protect it against malware relatively soon.

    "So, if you have desktops, you find it hard to protect it against malware relatively soon."

    This is a nonsense statement, now you have more options and security tools for everything than ever, if something, the security market is a bubble that will have to regulate.

    You have LESS options.  It has become much like ranges, ovens, fridges.  So many brands, but fabricated in only a few plants worldwide ...

    This will be the same for desktop protection.  Small suppliers will outsource the core and fix a GUI on it, or bring some intelligence between different product.

    Symantec is closing for a reason.  That market is shrinking.

    Symantec is closing because now there are more competition than ever. In the last 5 or 6 years like 15 or 20 new EDR products have appeared in the market

    The security spend, and the security industry is growing every year

    The market for PC protection as shrunk dramatically.  Really.

    The reason being, well, desktops are dying, and appliances like Iphone just don't need it.

    It may appear to one that there is many solutions available, but behind the scene, they all outsource to the same few "REAL" security suppliers.  

    What illustrate best what I'm saying is what happened to the tooling industrie:  

    You may thing you buy different brand, but there's barely 10 left.
