Cirrus Aircraft Shipments and Market Share Up Significantly in 1Q2010 Despite Continued Softness in the General Aviation Piston Marketplace
In contrast to the overall industry trends, Cirrus Aircraft grew both unit deliveries and market share on a year-over-year basis in the first quarter of 2010. Brent Wouters, President and CEO of Cirrus Aircraft noted, "We are obviously still working through a period of variable demand, even on a month-to-month basis. Yet these new numbers are the clearest signs that Cirrus is making sustained and measurable progress in spite of the inherent challenges in today’s market place. The Cirrus delivery numbers also reflect greater long-term stability with less quarterly variation. We attribute this to the significant value in our product and strength of our company - both very important to our customers."
Search engine results poisoned with links to fake antivirus software have been a constant problem for Internet users. However, it is an effective way for cyber attackers to infect users’ machines. Google recently presented a research paper regarding websites that offer fake antivirus software and part of Google’s research shows that search engine results can lead to such pages. The presentation demonstrates that Google is working hard at preventing these search poisoning attempts.
According to Symantec’s Report on Rogue Security Software, the culprits of these “toxic” search results are typically scam perpetrators who use

Had an interesting and eventful Saturday where I was invited to share at the PAYM Policy Forum @ Hong Kah GRC & Chua Chu Kang SMC. The discussion eventually centered more around policy making for online dangers i.e. what we more commonly know as cyber wellness topics like cyber security, cyber bullying, etc. There was a fair bit of discussion around Facebook privacy issues, especially since I mentioned that last week I could actually see very private information about my Facebook friends like their chat conversations, etc. Some of the tech65 guys were there which made the conversation more interesting. Of key discussion was whether the onus of cyber wellness and safety rested on the individual, the parents, the education system, or for that matter, the government.

SINGAPORE – May 7, 2010 – Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) announced that it has signed definitive agreements to acquire PGP Corporation and GuardianEdge Technologies, Inc., two privately-held leaders in the email and data encryption market, which will extend its ability to help customers secure and manage their most critical information. Under the terms of the agreements, Symantec will acquire PGP Corporation for a purchase price of approximately US$300 million in cash and GuardianEdge for a purchase price of approximately US$70 million in cash. The agreements are subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and are expected to close during the June quarter.
Encryption technology is an important element of an information-centric security solution, as critical information is increasingly on mobile devices and in the cloud. State and national governments are enacting more stringent and costly compliance mandates, such as the HITECH and UK Data Protection Acts, which are driving the need to encrypt sensitive information and protect an individual’s privacy. Also, the increased costs and frequency of data breaches are driving the adoption of encryption as companies strive to mitigate risk and protect their critical information from cybercriminals.
By bringing together PGP and GuardianEdge’s standards-based encryption capabilities for full-disk, removable media, email, file, folder and smartphone, with Symantec’s endpoint security, data loss prevention and gateway security offerings, Symantec will have
