Network Associates to Acquire IntruVert Networks for $100 Million in
Cash 
Intrusion Protection Technology Blocks Network Attacks to Provide
Real-Time Protection Against Threats 

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Network
Associates, Inc. (NYSE: NET - News), a leader in network security and
availability solutions, today announced the signing of a definitive
agreement to acquire IntruVert Networks, a provider of network-based
intrusion protection technology, for $100 million in cash. IntruVert's
next-generation technology offers real-time detection of network
intrusions to block known and unknown security threats to organizations'
critical infrastructures.


Sará interessante vedere come NAI ha intenzione di integrare la
tecnologia di Intruvert, che ad oggi é una delle poche di intrusion
detection/prevention che usa l'approccio inline IDS piuttosto che il
'classico' cable sniffing.
