EMC has announced its acquisition of network security monitoring and analysis platform outfit NetWitness. Financial terms of the deal, announced [1] Monday, were undisclosed.
NetWitness helped EMC's RSA division in the aftermath of the latter's high profile hack last month. Post acquisition, NetWitness will become a core component of RSA's advanced security management products and services group.
Upcoming tech from NetWitness includes Spectrum, a product designed to replicate the knowledge, process and workflow of malware analysts. The technology is designed to foil strains of so-called zero-day malware, strains of Trojan malware not yet detected by anti-virus software. ®
