This exemplifies Cisco's build/buy/partner model.The acquisition of Sourcefire adds a team with deep security DNA to Cisco and will accelerate Cisco’s security strategy of defending, discovering, and remediating advanced threats. In addition, Sourcefire’s open source model will strengthen and accelerate Cisco’s ability to build a strong ecosystem of security partners who can bring real time threat intelligence and innovations to customers through integration with it's technologies and platforms (OpenDaylight, SDN, etc...). Good move at a reasonable price (~29% premium to closing).
