McAfee Acquires tenCube – Makers of WaveSecure

Popular anti-virus and internet security vendor McAfee Inc. has acquired tenCube, the guys behind then little downloadable peace-of-mind we all know and love as WaveSecure. Today’s acquisition has direct implications for McAfee’s desire to enter the Android market (and other mobile spaces) to take on one of their biggest competitors – Symantec and their Norton suite of tools.

WaveSecure is a fantastic piece of software allowing you to take action on your device remotely should it ever find itself lost or stolen. The ability to triangulate a GPS fix on the device, lock it, encrypt the data, wipe it, back data up, and more all come with the WaveSecure package and McAfee now has full access to this wonderful technology.
McAfee hopes to use WaveSecure’s technology for leverage in providing the all-important data security that most enterprise mobile users demand out of their products. WaveSecure is still available as of the time of this posting in the Android market.
