NetworkWorld Column: EMC + RSA = New force in data security

In this week's column, I go into the EMC/RSA deal - but more from the perspective of why all of the detractors have it wrong. I seem to be one of the only folks that is positive about the deal, but I like it that way. If I agree with everyone, I'm not doing my job.

I'll also note that I have to be more careful about using cliches like "game-changing" in my mass market columns. I do use that term here, but then I went on to say about how the term game-changing makes me want to puke. Surprisingly, that part got edited. Arghhh!

But I guess that is part of the game. We'll see how this deal plays out over the next few years.
