Cisco Systems announced today that it will be purchasing Sourcefire, a Columbia, Maryland security equipment company. The deal was announced in Cisco's corporate blog.
Sourcefire is a leader in intrusion-detection devices. Its products are laid on a foundation made up of Snort, an open-source intrusion-detection software, which it developed. Sourcefire was founded in 2001 by Martin Roesch. It was started in 2001, has about 650 employees and reported sales of about $220 million in 2012.
This is Cisco's seventh deal for 2013, with hopefully more to come.
