Last October , Cisco confirmed that Sourcefire was now part of our family of security products and solutions .
“With this acquisition, we take a significant and exciting step in our journey to define the future of security. As one company, we offer an unbeatable combination that will greatly accelerate our mission of delivering a new, threat-centric security model. Through the addition of Sourcefire’s competitive talent and technologies, I see vast opportunities to expand Cisco’s global security footprint in both new and emerging markets, broaden our solution sets and deepen our customer relationships “

Much like Sourcefire’s Firemen Principles, you can be confident that these values will continue as one team at Cisco.”
