Thomas Bravo – private equity owner of McAfee and Barracuda Networks – has slurped cloudy application security testing biz Veracode Software, a division of Broadcom, for $950m in cash.
Veracode was only bought by CA Technologies in March last year, but clearly doesn't feature in the future plans of Broadcom – CA's new parent. It sells a software-as-a-service platform and related wares for developers to ID and fix security defects during the dev lifecycle.
