HP ACQUIRES SOFTWARE SECURITY COMPANY FORTIFY

Leena Rao@LeenaRao / Invalid DateTime•
comment Comment

In the wake of former CEO Mark Hurd’s sexual harassement scandal, HP is
announcing that it is acquiring Fortify, a software security company. Terms of
the deal were not disclosed.

Fortify’s Software Security Assurance products and services protect companies
from security threats in busines software applications. The company’s software
evaluates and test software code for security flaws while programs are actually
being developed. Fortify has previously collaborated with HP, integrating its
software with HP products in June 2009.

HP says that it will operate Fortify initially as a standalone entity but the
company will eventually be folded into HP’s Software and Solutions business.
Fortify’s products will become part of the Business Technology Optimization
application portfolio, available through HP’s sales and service channels.



Fortify has raised venture funding from DAG Ventures, Kleiner Perkins Caufield &
Byers and Sigma Partners

Clearly the Fortify acquisition is more of an enterprise play. HP’s last two
acquisitions, Lala competitor-Melodeo, and smartphone manufacturer Palm, have
been in the consumer and hardware space.
