Intel Completes Acquisition of McAfee
Intel has today finally announced that the acquisition of
McAfee, Inc. is complete.
McAfee will continue developing and selling security
products and services under its own brand. Intel and McAfee
plan to bring the first fruits of their strategic
partnership to market later this year, with the intent of
tackling security and the pervasive nature of computing
threats in an entirely new way.
Intel and McAfee believe today's approach to security does not adequately address the billions of new Internet-ready devices, including PCs, mobile and wireless devices, TVs, cars, medical devices and ATM machines. With the surge in cyber threats, providing protection to a diverse online world requires a fundamentally new approach involving software, hardware and services. Together the two companies will work to help people more securely take full advantage of the potential of computing and connectivity.
As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intel, McAfee reports into Intel's Software and Services Group. The group is managed by RenĪ¹e James, Intel senior vice president, and general manager. McAfee's president, Dave DeWalt, will report to James.
