McAfee , the computer security firm, announced that it is buying Trust Digital , a smartphone management and security software company. McAfee, which has nearly $2 billion per year in sales, is hoping the acquisition of Trust Digital will allow it to present a total security loop, from endpoint, McAfee’s speciality, through a company’s smartphones, and back again. Sponsor Trust Digital helps “secure and manage corporate smartphones and PDAs” worldwide. They are global leader, though they have only about 40 employees to McAfee’s 6,000. Trust Digital’s offerings support iPhone OS, Android, Web OS, Windows Mobile, and Symbian mobile operating systems. McAfee expects to mesh these with its ePolicy Orchestrator , its “enterprise-class, open platform to centrally manage security for systems, networks, data, and compliance solutions.” The companies expect the deal to close by June 30.
