Post# of 82672
Did you know that Thoma Bravo last month (10/09/18 ) acquired Centrify SPIN OUT Idaptive https://bit.ly/2URnYPG for MFA/OOBAaaS & acquired Centrify in full as well ( Majority ) Ref: https://bit.ly/2FJqPWj
Did you now know that Thoma Bravo is in talks with TPG & Intel to acquire McAfee? https://cnb.cx/2CjwGz3
Did you know that McAfee has a strategic partnership with SFOR channel partner ACS? https://bit.ly/2R0mXFP
Did you know that all three are represented by Ropes & Gray?
Did you know that they all had a call with Centrify/Thoma Bravo on Friday at 10:00AM on 11/14? The news popped up AH/Market close @ 4:13 PM ( Same Day )
Did you know that Thoma Bravo acquired Centrify & Idaptive for IA&M services based purely on MFA/OOBA?
Did you know that from the 10Q ( Last Year ) , SFOR mentioned that they are working with both "Hardware & Software Manufacture " ( Intel is H/W )
Key in all above deals / acquisition is '698/OOBA/MFA ( SFOR PATENT ) & Ropes & Gray.
And Centrify lost the IPR/PTAB /USPTO court battle to SFOR ( KEY ) https://jmp.sh/yWiPTv0 ( SFOR won every claim )
Thoma Bravo knows that these acquisitions depends on SFOR patent. Ropes & Gray might have told them , hey it's game over ( In a nice way )
I see something huge is brewing behind the scene, did others see as well ?
Have a good day all.
