Rumor: Tripwire for sale?
October 2nd, 2007
The word on the street says that Tripwire has been talking to potential suitors again. One set of negotiations were really close to a deal, or atleast offers were made, but the numbers were too far apart and talks stalled.
I was talking to an M&A professional recently and they said everyone wants their deal priced on the Opsware/HP multiples and valuations and that is just not realistics for most market segments, as they are not hyper-growth segments.
Then I read a press release from Tripwire today which has them re-positioning themselves or what seems like a re-position to “Continuous Data Center Compliance” … and it makes you wonder whether it is an effort to reposition into the Data Center space from the compliance space.
