Symantec CEO expects more aquisitions

**Glaswegian** · 11-02-2007, 02:55 PM

The future holds more acquisitions for Symantec as it looks to strengthen key business areas and keep pace with evolving online security threats, its CEO said Friday.

While dismissing as "speculation" recent press reports that Symantec is close to buying San Francisco data-loss prevention software company Vontu, CEO John Thompson said Symantec is interested in expanding in that technology area.

"If I were to think about broad categories of technology where we have an interest they might include three or four important areas: data loss prevention, transaction-based security, server management, and then complementary services across those three software domains," he said at a Tokyo news conference held alongside the company's Symantec Vision event.
