 Intel has $17.8 billion cash on hand, which is just sitting there, earning

 Intel could buy a company that it thinks will generate income for its
 investors. Ken Hackel, president of CreditTrends.com and author of Security
 Valuation and Risk Analysis, estimated that Intel's total cost of capital on
 the McAfee purchase would be about 4%, but the cash return on its invested
 capital would probably be around 8%.Software in general is a much
 higher-margin business than hardware, and McAfee is no exception, with a
 gross margin near 75%. Intel's is around 55%.





 Other than that, it doesn’t make a huge amount of sense.  Intel has had a
 weak track record buying software companies, and many are scratching their

 Now that is a huge surprise.  I'm not sure what to be more scared about:



 -- That Intel feels it needs integrated security solutions

 -- That it feels that McCrappy was the best organization to purchase to get
 that capability

 -- That we might have integrated McCrappy on our systems whether we like it

Really? We are implementing a mobile device AV/malware product (at great 
expense), but what's the real threat landscape? Enterprise products (WinMo, 
Blackberry) already include the ability to lock down what can run on the 
device. Unless Intel is planning to hawk a product to SOHO markets (which I 
doubt), I don't think this is about a big mobile device play.

RE: Intel to buy McAfee for $7.68 billion

2010-08-19 Thread Ziots, Edward
Actually there is a quite a threat landscape on mobile devices, and its
only going to get worse, because of the lack of controls on them.  Think
a remote wipe of a mobile device ( phone, BB, Iphone, Android, etc al)
is forensically sound... think again it isn't and the remote-wipe is
easy to bypass, pull the darn batter from the phone, attach a boot
device to the phone recover the keys that are on the device and you got
all the data on the phone itself. Now imagine its your CEO's phone and
his emails, contacts and other company pertinent information is on the
phone and now in the hands of the bad guys. 

 

 

I have to agree with Rod is defintely a mobile device power play these
days, but again they are so insecure, I personally wouldn't be using
them to store anything of value. 

 

If you have had the pleasure of listening or being apart of one of Aaron
Turner (IANS Research Facility) discussions on the latest on mobile
device security ( or lack thereof), you will better understand how
really insecure and behind the times we are, and the risks we are taking
when it comes to these devices. 

 


 

Aaron Turner
Industry Experience: Before joining INL as the Cybersecurity Strategist
for the National  Homeland Security division, Mr. Turner worked in
several of Microsoft's security divisions. He was also the Security
Readiness Manager for Microsoft's Sales, Marketing, and Services Group
where he led the development of information security curriculum. He has
designed security solutions and responded to incidents in more than 25
countries around the world.
