Senior VP Candace Worley described the endpoint security strategy during FOCUS 12, a conference this week in Las Vegas. The VAR Guy has a front-row seat. Worley described how endpoint diversity (laptops, smartphones, tablets) coupled with data center changes (cloud, virtualization etc.) have created new security challenges and opportunities for channel partners.

It sounds like a really big happy meal for channel partners. The new McAfee Profitability Stack serves up a range of beefy options to help VARs maximize their security software profits. So, will partners eat up the concept — especially as Sophos, Symantec and Trend Micro (among others) continue to counter the Intel-McAfee combo?

McAfee Co-President Michael DeCesare this morning offered an update on the Intel-McAfee synergies, and he sees four trends impacting the future of IT security: (1) Social media, (2)public and private cloud, (3) big data and (4) the app explosion tied to mobile.

The security features of Intel chips are seriously underused, but forthcoming products from McAfee are set to change that, an executive from the security vendor said.

Consider a TCP connection is established between two TCP endpoints and one of them invokes either:

close(): Here, no further read or write is permitted. shutdown(fd, SHUT_WR): This converts full duplex connection to simplex where the endpoint invoking SHUT_WR can still read.

However, in both the cases FIN is sent on the wire to the peer endpoint.

Sophos has named Symantec (NASDAQ: SYMC) veteran Kris Hagerman as CEO, succeeding Steve Munford. Hagerman, also a Corel veteran, joins Sophos as the anti-virus, endpoint security and unified threat management (UTM) company pushes into mobile device management and cloud encryption services.
