Below is a comment from Imperva’s Director of Security Strategy, Rob Rachwald on Intel’s purchase of McAfee: “The acquisition means one thing: security can’t be separated from the business. In the past, the objective of security was all about keeping the bad guys out while letting the good guys in. However, with the advent of insiders and as external hacking’s focus shifted to data theft, the objective of security professionals changed dramatically. Data—and the transactions that moved data—meant security teams had to deploy security as a part of supply chains, online transactions and for online collaboration among customers, employees, partners and social networks.
