World will change in Av sectors, something like what i will think will happen more or less:
Emsisoft (BD engine, but great BB), i'm not surpised if some one bigger will buy it
ESET will merge with Bitdefender
G-Data (lady of Kaspersky does have shares)
F-Secure (is a joke for home users, no self protection at all)
Mcafee<->FireEye
etc

Chinese Sangfor with WiseVector is the best combo at the moment.

 

Yes I agree, we will see even more mergers. They need to make a stand against MS Defender ATP.

 

"FireEye to change name to Mandiant...

The decision to rename itself reflects "the company's strategy to focus on Mandiant's security controls-agnostic solutions delivered through the Mandiant Advantage cloud-based platform." As part of that strategy, the company agreed in June to sell its FireEye Products business, including the FireEye name, to a consortium led by Symphony Technology Group..."

I assume FireEye which is a household name will continued to be used by McAfee? And it's a bit confusing, because didn't Mandiant already was a IT security company?

 

This move after rival Symantec was bought out by Broadcom, was to be expected.
