Full Press Release: Cisco Announces Agreement to Acquire Sourcefire
Cisco and Sourcefire today announced a definitive agreement for Cisco to acquire Sourcefire, a leader in intelligent cybersecurity solutions. Cisco and Sourcefire will combine their world-class products, technologies and research teams to provide continuous and pervasive advanced threat protection across the entire attack continuum – before, during and after an attack – and from any device to any cloud.

Sourcefire develops the open-source products Snort (intrusion detection and prevention technology) and ClamAV. Also owns and develops Immunet FREE Antivirus. I wonder if they will include these security features into their Linksys routers.

Thanks.
