If Cisco has any brains at all they'll leave Sourcefire as is for the most part. Keep in mind their objective is to buy a rock star security company/product because it makes good business sense and yes, money. Change is inevitable but not always bad. Sourcefire rocks because they know what they're doing and they do it better than most other IPS vendors. I believe they'll bust ass to make sure the great things stay great while making other things better. It's in Cisco's best interests to do the same. Otherwise it's like using the Turin shroud to wash your car. Even Cisco isn't that stupid. They've got a ways to go before this all approved and final. I recommend taking a deep breath, relax, and hold steady as she goes. It'll work out for the best. Scott P.S. - Congrats to any Sourcefire folks that become insanely rich. Next time we meet at a con drinks are on you. ;-) On Jul 23, 2013 3:54 PM, "Joel Esler" <jesler () sourcefire com> wrote:
All — Okay, I am going to try and respond to everyone here, so bear with me. We had an event here today where I was busy, that’s what took me so long. So if anyone is running around their office sweating waiting for some kind of statement from me or Marty other than the blog post I put up this morning: http://blog.snort.org/2013/07/a-continued-commitment-to-open-source.html So, I’ll try and answer some of the emails in one thread and hopefully everyone will feel the same that I feel.

I was worried that Rapid7’s acquisition of Metasploit would kill that product, but it hasn’t really. Changed it, for sure, but it hasn’t killed it. I am a bit more worried about how the Cisco acquisition of Sourcefire will affect the VRT though. I suspect Snort will (and has to because of GPL?) remain open source however. *Bottom line up front*: Snort will remain open. Cisco is committed to OpenSource. This includes but is not limited to :). ClamAV, RazorBack, Snort, etc. On Jul 23, 2013, at 1:53 PM, Y M <snort () outlook com> wrote: Another thing is the Snort (SnortCP) and Sourcefire certifications and certification holders. Are these certifications deprecated already? Education is very important to Cisco. As you know Cisco has many education programs and certifications already (CCNA, CCNP, CCIE, etc). As for what new things will be announced after the final merger has cleared, I’ll leave that to Cisco.

Sourcefire is better as an entity itself. greed for $$$ drives all to suicide at times... the shareholders of both companies seem to be of the same mind and wanting more $$$ even if it means death to the company and/or products... As stated earlier, we aren’t stopping our commitment to Open Source, and the community is the same as it ever was, if not better. See OpenDaylight.
