Note from Dave

McAfee Team,

Today is an historic day for McAfee with the announcement that Intel has agreed to acquire our company. Obviously this is big news for McAfee, big news for Intel, big news for our combined customers and big news for the security industry and the future of the Internet.

Both McAfee and Intel believe that security is a fundamental component of modern computing. The acquisition reflects the increasing relevance of security in a completely connected world.

The current cybersecurity model isn’t extensible across the proliferating spectrum of devices. Providing protection to a heterogeneous world of connected devices requires a fundamentally new approach. Frankly, the industry needed a paradigm shift. McAfee and Intel are joining forces to tackle this challenge, which impacts everyone and anything connecting to the Net.

McAfee is the best security partner for Intel, something Intel recognized based on many years as a customer and as a successful collaborator on a variety of innovations. In fact, by next year, we will introduce new security offerings as a result of our collaboration.

McAfee will remain a stand-alone subsidiary of Intel after the acquisition closes, reporting into Intel’s Software and Services Group. We will retain our leadership team and expertise which will facilitate future innovation in security. This acquisition is driven to create new markets, not by cost-cutting. There are no intended headcount changes as a result of this transaction.

Intel has always thought about power efficient performance and Internet connectivity as the two key pillars of computing. Going forward, security will be the third pillar. By bringing McAfee’s security DNA to Intel, we can offer better solutions and products to the market.

Intel has a successful software business, built in part by acquiring companies such as Wind River. Intel’s software business brings expertise in solutions and services in order to deliver high-performance platforms to fast-growing sectors. McAfee is the next step in that strategy and brings together security and hardware expertise that will better protect consumers and businesses alike and drive innovation across Intel’s product offerings.

When the acquisition closes, McAfee and Intel will have the knowledge and scale necessary to capture the opportunity in security and deliver growth and value to our customers, partners and our combined shareholders. The result will be increased safety, security and trust in everyday technology experiences.

During the acquisition close process as well as following the close, we will continue to strengthen our security focus. Customers and partners will experience no change in their experience. The expectation is that, upon close, we will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intel, sustaining our focus on providing leading-edge security solutions, while gaining the benefits of Intel’s technology investments, market-reach, brand and global employee base.

This is very exciting news. There is no better partner that McAfee could have found than Intel. They share our vision for security, they share our vision of a connected world, and working together we’ll be far stronger globally and able to make a much bigger difference in people’s lives. Together we will secure the digital world.

This pending acquisition is a great win for McAfee and our customers and partners.

Best regards,
