This week’s acquisition of ArcSight by HP adds to an already hectic M&A season in the IT security software industry (according to Forrester Research, the deal puts the total spend on M&A in the last six months over $10B!). What risks do firms face from this sort of industry consolidation? How will this affect businesses particularly as they continue to move workloads to the cloud?  What does this mean for the future of SIEM, log management and cloud security?

Host: Matthew T. Grant
