  11. makes sense on CheckPoint Acquires Snort · · Score: 3, Interesting
    "We believe Sourcefire has world-class solutions for internal security through their Intrusion Sensor, Real-time Network Awareness (RNA), and Defense Center product lines.

    Checkpoint needs this type of network awareness technology to keep up with Cisco
    I know they lost my company's contract because the network admins like the way Cisco stuff integrates

    I'll start by stating again what I've stated in the past, Snort is now and will continue to be free to end-users. We will continue to develop and distribute the Snort engine under the GPL, improve and document the program to stay on the cutting edge and expand the snort.org web site. The community continues, as always, to be important to us as a group of people who use the code pervasively throughout the entire Internet, report on problems and make suggestions and contributions to the project.

    This is critical to me for many reason. It's good to see. Marty is a man of integrity & I'll bet this is in the aquisition contract

    Check Point to acquire privately held Sourcefire for a total consideration of approximately $225 million.

    Who says you can't make money from FOSS?
    Marty deserves the fiduciary rewards he'll get for all his hard work over the years
