Source: McAfee Came Close To Buying Good Technology; Deal Off

▤ Summary

Intel-owned security software giant McAfee came close to acquiring enterprise mobility solutions firm Good Technology, a well-placed source from within one of the two American companies has informed us. Good Technology has partnerships with industry giants like LG, HTC, Microsoft and Nokia, as well as many systems integrators. They would fit in nicely with McAfee, which is increasingly targeting large enterprise customers and government agencies with its own security software products. McAfee is based in Santa Clara, California, and offers software and services to home users, businesses and the public sector. Which brings us to another sidenote: Ron Vaisbort, Good Technology’s VP and General Counsel, previously worked at Intel.
