IT and data security has become pivotal as a tsunami of data piracy has victimized businesses across the board with data theft. The recent breach at Equifax, which exposed millions of consumers to potential fraud and has thrown the credit bureau's operations into turmoil, is but the latest high-profile example. In this environment, dealmakers are actively seeking to acquire security providers from the middle-market. Among recent developments, PCM Technology Solutions UK Ltd. bought The Stack Group; ManTech International Corp. (Nasdaq: MANT) acquired cloud service management provider InfoZen for $180 million; Honeywell International Inc. (NYSE: HON) purchased Nextnine; Open Text Corp. (Nasdaq: OTEX) bought Guidance Software Inc.; Zix Corp. (Nasdaq: ZIXI) acquired email encryption provider Entelligence Messaging Server; and Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) announced plans to buy Fireglass for undisclosed terms.
