Check Point buys NFR Security for $20M

Nancy Gohring writes on InfoWorld:

Check Point Software Technologies is making its second acquisition in as many months, scooping up NFR Security for about $20 million.

Check Point plans to incorporate NFR's intrusion detection and prevention technologies into its own security portfolio of firewall, VPN (virtual private network) and security management products. The resulting product will offer a high level of intelligence, adaptability and manageability, Check Point said.

In addition to that bundled offering, Check Point will also sell a stand-alone intrusion detection and prevention product that will combine NFR's product line with Check Point's InterSpect internal security gateway products.
