    Will SEP still be supported after the merger? Newer versions, newer definitions?

    If not, when is the cut off?

    Hi, I thought only Cyber Security Services such as MSS,SOC,Incident response service, were bought by Accenture not SEP.

    Did broadcome contact you to tell so?

    I haven't been directly told that it is going away.

    I just want to know if it is going to be affected by this since some people I know are worried that it will be affected.

    I see.

    Well,this accquiresion are clearly limited to Cyber Security Services, so I don't think you should worry about.

    I looked into some details of the service and the document below only says Cyber Security Services can utilise SEP.

    Thus it is not part of the service nor system component.
