Oracle buys Thor

Oracle bought Thor, which I thought was very interesting. As Pete Lindstrom pointed out, it was a busy week for security-related acquisitions. This post at Digital ID World (hat tip to Venture Chronicles sums up my thoughts. I wonder if Oracle will go after RSA? I have my doubts. Oracle is just really going after Sun, IBM, etc.

it's clear to me that strong authentication and identity management solutions need not be purchased from the same vendor. The fact that RSA competes against Tivoli, CA, HP, Sun, etc just gives me more potential friends. I would think that those vendors chafe when one of their customer uses SecurID with their product, since they know that the profits from SecurID go into ClearTrust.
