"H-P Acquires Most of Internet Security Firm."
SecureWare technology is used by the Pentagon to safeguard transmission of military secrets. The firm's team of about 40 programmers is "a substantial fraction of the hired guns available in the on-line security world" who snake oil an extra virgin security that not even hackers can cross. Hackers would question that; they have a remarkable history of eventually figuring out ways to get past advances in faked chastity.
For the record, this includes me (Yes, I work for HP now). Please note that most of the story content is, if not wrong, at least poorly stated -- so what else is new? Also, the specific quotes there -- including the "hired gun" quote above -- are from an "industry analyst" not from anyone at either HP or SecureWare. -- Jeff (Hired gun? I guess so. But who isn't?)
