EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) today announced that it has acquired Virginia-based NetWitness Corporation.

NetWitness' technologies provide precise and pervasive network visibility, enabling security teams to detect and remediate advanced threats while automating the incident investigation process.

mine? you mean in my employer? LOL...sold a week after the announcement (the tender completed Friday last week). Not that I had much to speak of (no ESPP here and you need to be VP or above for grant/options)

Pretty interesting that EMC bought them!
