Gartner on THE merger of the month

Well in IT security anyway. It seems that some of the gartner analysts are also concerned about Symantecs MessageLabs acquisition, inferring that email security technologies will stagnate.

This is a bit off the mark for two reasons, the first in my earlier post re: PC Tools Threat Expert and the second that MessageLabs hasn’t been that innovative in email security for a while, preferring to buy or license rather than build.
