Symantec and PGP
May 4th, 2010
Well it looks like Symantec bought PGP and Guardian Edge; two very popular encryption suites. As a user of PGP’s products, I am very worried about what will happen to the functionality of the product, but also to the brand as well.
PGP has a long history of turmoil. I fear that symantec will treat PGP like they did Backup Exec; make it huge and bloated.
While many say that they plan on taking Guardian Edge’s products and putting them under PGP’s management structure; I will wait to see what comes of this.
I’m sure licensing costs are about to go up as well.
