And I would add Veritas and bindview to aquired by Symantec list as well.

I tried to focus on end point security and ccm - but yes Symantec have acquired a lot more.

If I wanted to make the list broader I would also include a lot of the IBM acquisitions - as well as Marimba being acquired by BMC.
