Symantec Acquires VeriSign
The combination of VeriSign’s and Symantec’s security offerings will enable Symantec to deliver on its vision of a world where people have simple and secure access to their information from anywhere.
With this acquisition, we extend our strategy to create the most trusted brand for protecting information and identities online. The VeriSign check mark is the most recognized symbol of trust online with up to 250 million impressions every day on more than 90,000 websites in 160 countries. Symantec’s security solutions and the company’s Norton-branded suites protect more than one billion systems and users around the world. By bringing these security assets together, Symantec will become the leading source of trust online.
