Novell acquires Senforce

Back in late June I commented on the OEM agreement between Senforce Technology and Novell.  The folks over at Senforce are partners of ours and I was happy to see them get a great OEM deal.  Today comes word that Novell has taken the next step here and actually acquired Senforce!  Truth be told, I had heard something about this but was waiting until official word came out to say anything.

I think this is a great deal for both of these Utah based companies.  Senforce has a home for their award winning endpoint security and Novell picks up some much needed security expertise.  I don't know anything further about details on price, etc., but do know that most of the Senforce team will remain in place.  Again congratulations to Mike Hall, Nolan Rosen, Ed McGarr, Scott Richards and all of the folks at Senforce.  It will be interesting to see what further steps Novell makes in the security space.
