This morning, M86 Security became bigger and better than ever. Or, to be more explicit: M86, which is a company that specializes in Web and messaging security products, acquired Finjan, an organization focused on Web gateway solutions for the enterprise market. M86 Security Purchases Finjan John Vigouroux, the CEO of M86 Security, stated as a result, “We are very pleased to add Finjan’s technology, products, customers and employees to the M86 team. With M86’s complementary Email security and reporting products and worldwide distribution, we anticipate a broad opportunity for Finjan’s enterprise-class Web security solutions to existing and new customers.” Gadi Maier, the CEO of Finjan Software, also said, “We are very excited to see Finjan become part of M86 Security. Finjan is well known for its advanced malware detection technology and leading secure Web gateway and hybrid SaaS solutions. Integrating it into M86’s broader Web and messaging product lines and utilizing its worldwide distribution is a win-win for M86 Security and Finjan.” And indeed, it doesn’t look like there’s much reason for anybody to be upset about the deal. Granted, the financial terms remain unknown, so it’s hard to guess how investors should feel, but on the security side of things, little besides a straightforward combination seems to be planned. Vigouroux even hails from Finjan (he changed jobs about seven months ago) so he’s in an especially good position to make sure that everything is integrated properly.
