Microsoft announces its plans for Sybari

Posted by   Virus Bulletin on   Jun 15, 2005

Microsoft completes its acquisition of security firm Sybari Software and announces its plans for Sybari's products.

Microsoft completed its acquisition of security firm Sybari Software last month and announced its plans for Sybari's products. Microsoft intends to discontinue sales of the company’s anti-virus solution (Antigen) for Unix and Linux platforms, while its other products, including Antigen for Domino (on Windows), will continue to be marketed. Microsoft has said that it will continue to offer support to existing users of Sybari products on both Windows and non-Windows platforms, and that Sybari’s existing pricing and licensing model will be retained. It is also likely that Microsoft will add its own scanning engine to those that can be used with the multiple-engine Antigen product.

With Microsoft’s desktop anti-virus product for the consumer market, OneCare, scheduled for beta release later this year, the company finally looks to be making serious inroads into the anti-virus market.
