Secure Computing to Acquire CipherTrust for $273.6M

Kevin McLaughlin writes on CRN.com:

Secure Computing Tuesday revealed plans to acquire messaging security vendor CipherTrust in a $273.6 million cash and stock deal.

CipherTrust, a privately held firm based in Alpharetta, Ga., develops technology that combats spam, viruses, and phishing, and host intrusion attempts. Last month the vendor rolled out its IronMail 6.5 appliance, which includes the ability to prevent sensitive corporate data from being sent out of the network, as well as block pornographic or other offensive images from arriving in e-mail.
