Computer Associates (CA) has announced the acquisition of Tiny Software, Inc, a privately-held developer of endpoint security technology for Windows desktops and servers, including the Tiny Personal Firewall.
CA believes this acquisition extends its leadership in threat management, which began with anti-virus technology and continued with recent moves into anti-spyware and anti-spam technology. The company will continue to market Tiny Software solutions as standalone offerings as it incorporates them into its eTrust Integrated Threat Management software portfolio. "With the acquisition of Tiny Software we can now provide our South African customers with comprehensive, best-in-class threat management solutions," comments Karel Rode, eTrust business technologist at Computer Associates Africa. "With our comprehensive security offering we now provide organisations of all sizes the ability to protect critical data and operational systems from increasingly complex and diverse cyber threats."
Sold on the Web and through an extensive network of resellers, Tiny Software products are used throughout the world, with OEM licensees including Microsoft, Unisys and the US Air Force.
The company recently released Tiny Firewall 64, the first native firewall and system protection solution for 64-bit Windows operating systems. Tiny Software also offers a software development toolkit that enables third-parties to integrate specific features of Tiny`s host security platform.
Tiny Software was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in Santa Clara, California.
