Mirage Networks Acquired by Trustwave

While one chapter ends for Mirage, another very exciting chapter begins for our Network Access Control (NAC) solution.  Today, we announce Trustwave’s acquisition of Mirage Networks.  

Based in Chicago with offices around the globe, Trustwave is the leader in Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance management, with relationships both broad and deep among banks, merchant acquirers and service providers.  Trustwave also offers Managed Security Services (MSS), where Mirage’s NAC solution will join their current suite of Unified Threat Management (UTM), Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDS/IPS), log monitoring and secure e-mail offerings.

This is really a remarkable company, especially given today’s landscape; Trustwave is global and growing despite a market characterized by dismal financial news.  In addition to MSS and PCI compliance management, Trustwave also has a rapidly growing SSL certificate business, along with the really impressive folks at SpiderLabs who provide forensic analyses and network and application penetration testing.

Expect to see a general Trustwave blog in the coming months that will cover topics ranging from PCI compliance to network and application security and beyond.  I’ll happily contribute to that company blog whenever asked, but otherwise plan to dismantle this blog in the near future.  This blog has been a lot of fun, but I won’t be able to give it the priority it deserves as I look forward to getting to know the people within Trustwave and seeing our NAC solution thrive within our new organization.

This is Grant Hartline, former CTO of Mirage Networks and current VP of Business Development at Trustwave, signing off.
