Many investors seem to be taking lightly the recent acquisition of McAfee by Intel Corp. (INTC). In fact, they seem bewildered by the move. Why in the world would a maker of chip sets want to own a data security software provider? Let me tell you why.

The days when we subscribed to a third-party service to download those clunky security patches will soon be gone -- and not missed. Those annoying downloads and incessant updates will go the way of the dinosaurs. Intel is preparing for the next generation of data security. Soon your data security will be provided as an integral part of your data handling and communication devices. It will finally be manufactured right into your chip sets. That's the way it should have been long ago.

In a world where one line of data can mean the difference between success or ruin for individuals, companies, or even entire countries, the validity and security of sensitive data has increasingly become of paramount concern. A raft of cyber-security companies are answering these important issues with solutions for everything from email privacy to network breach protection. One such company, and a stand out in its field, is Computer Sciences Corp. (CSC).

It goes without saying that, in a recession the financial community can really overdo it on the downside, with certain stocks, and EMC Corp is in that category.

EMC Corp. (NYSE: EMC) is a major player in network storage and security, and when the recession hit, Wall Street adjusted downward corporate IT spending estimates, and of course took EMC's shares down with it. Shares plunged from a pre-recession high of about $25 to lows around $8 -- way oversold. Talk about haircuts!

Internet security company Symantec (NASDAQ: SYMC) today announced its purchase of Vontu for $350 million. Vontu's information security products and processes will aid Symantec in carving out a larger position in data security.

Symantec has traditionally focused on the gate-keeping aspect of security, while Vontu has been a leader in safeguarding the data inside the gate. This includes managing the wetware - establishing and maintaining policies to guide the worst security exposure, human beings, in their use of data. Vontu has also aggressively pushed to address rapidly evolving technologies such as iPods, Blackberries and thumb drives as possible avenues of data leakage.

The purchase seems well timed, in light of growing public concern (and legal suits) about data loss. It positions Symantec nicely as a turnkey solution for companies frantic to lock down their operations before they become the next public punching bag for their libertine handling of confidential info. Nothing drives business like a little fear.

The sale is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2007. Symantec expects the purchase to dilute 2008 earnings by $0.02 per share.
