Cisco to Acquire OpenDNS

Cisco has announced plans to expand its threat detection and attack-blocking portfolio via the $635 million purchase of cloud security firm OpenDNS.

Founded in 2005, OpenDNS runs a network of domain name servers that route Web traffic - competing with Internet service providers, telecommunications carriers, as well as Google - allowing users to reach websites more quickly, as well as help block advanced attacks and phishing campaigns. The company offers free services, as well as a cloud-based enterprise security product called Umbrella, and currently operates 25 data centers around the world.
