SIEM Market Redux

Roughly a year and a half ago, Rocky DeStefano and I had a conversation about the SIEM market in which he predicted mass acquisitions. It took longer than he originally guessed, but...

I'll throw another one out there - after more than 2 years of steady speculation of a Splunk IPO, they hired David Conte as CFO fresh from his setting up the sale of IronKey to Imation. Expect Splunk to be acquired in 2012, or at least try really hard.

    You called it about the Splunk CFO and 2012. It's not an acquisition, but an IPO will do!

    Yup, that didn't take long.
