HP to acquire ArcSight for $1.5 billion
 

Hewlett-Packard said Monday that it will acquire ArcSight, a security and compliance

management buy ffxiv gilcompany,

for $43.50 per share, or a total of $1.5 billion.

The technology giant said that ArcSight's "superior technology" is complementary to HP's

own existing security portfolio of hardware, software, and services. ArcSight's products

allow customers to monitor their networks, data centers, and applications for security

threats and other types of unusual activity.

"From a security perspective, the perimeter of today's enterprise is porous, putting

enormous pressure on clients' risk and compliance systems," Bill Veghte, HP's executive

vice president for software and solutions, said in a statement. "The combination of HP and

ArcSight will provide clients with the ability to fortify their applications, proactively

monitor events, and respond to threats."

In morning FFXIV Giltrading, ArcSight

shares were up around 25 percent, hovering in the vicinity of HP's per-share offer.

Earlier this month, HP won an intense bidding war with rival Dell to acquire storage

company 3Par for $2.4 billion.

In a conference call Monday morning, Veghte discussed the reasons behind the ArcSight deal.

With everything being connected today, especially through the public Internet, employees

and customers have come to expect access, Veghte said. But with that access comes greater

risk through more sophisticated threats and attacks. Along with the risks, too, comes a

need to comply with regulatory demands. As a result, companies need a new approach to

protect their enterprises and to lower their compliance costs.

Joining HP's IT management software and Secure Advantage with ArcSight's security products

will giveFinal Fantasy XIV Gil IT a

broader view of activity in their enterprise and provide that new approach, according to

Veghte.
