Symantec (SYMC) - Get Report  is acquiring identity theft protection company LifeLock (LOCK)  for $2.3 billion to help boost its computer security business, but TheStreet's Jim Cramer isn't overly excited about the deal. Cramer is looking for consolidation in the security business, but he thought it would involve companies like Proofpoint  (PFPT) - Get Report  or CyberArk  (CYBR) - Get Report . He's watching the next moves from other enterprise companies like Palo Alto Networks  (PANW) - Get Report  and Cicsco (CSCO) - Get Report . The merger between Symantec and LifeLock is expected to close early next year.
