Microsoft's Sybari acquisition highlights security strategy | |

Microsoft's purchase of antivirus and antispam software company Sybari Software underscores the company's recent decision to move toward selling its own security products to lock down the Windows platform. The Sybari acquisition comes one week before Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates is scheduled to make a keynote speech at the RSA Security Conference in San Francisco, where he is expected to further outline Microsoft's security strategy. "Security vendors have been making a market by pointing out vulnerabilities in Microsoft products, so the only response Microsoft can have is to provide a higher level of security in their products and change the dynamic," said Rob Enderle, of the Enderle Group. Sybari, of East Northport, New York, makes antivirus, antispam and e-mail content filtering products for big companies, IDG News Service said. Sybari's Antigen antivirus product is a server-based product that uses multiple antivirus engines to scan e-mail messages for viruses. | ||
