Unless the org is serious about how it assimalates new cultures, now is a good time to start recruiting from Foundstone. I'll bet most of the employees are pretty pissed, meanwhile they can prolly get 10%-30% raises out of this by jumping ship.
There was a huge falling out a while ago from FS and not many of the smart technical staff were left. A lot of them went to competing firms in the area. I would imagine that the sale was mostly for the IP rights (look out NTice) of the scanning software. As for managed services I'd imagine the current install base may stay loyal for a while but anyone who was on the fence is about to switch vendors. All their current sales engagements are pretty much lost at this point. Who would want to purchase from someone who's future is unknown? _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://www.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
