TAKEAWAY: Mike Rothman gives the lowdown McAfee's recent acquisition of Reconnex (for the "fire-sale price"of $46 million in cash). A positive: McAfee's competitors have already acquired assets in the DLP space, so now they've got something, too. Possible downside: channel mismatch. McAfee doesn't really have a high end services/implementation business
to drive big DLP deployments, and their channel tends to focus more
on mid-sized companies.
