Dear Valued Partner:
We are very excited to announce that Check Point has signed an
agreement
to acquire Sourcefire. We expect that this acquisition will allow
us to
address growing customer requirements for a unified security offering
that integrates IPS and RNA™ with firewalls, VPNs, gateways and
Security
Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions. We share a common
vision of integrating network and endpoint intelligence with network
security, and we expect Check Point’s substantial technical,
financial,
channel and industry strengths will allow us to accelerate our
pace of
innovation while reaching a global market of enthusiastic Check Point
partners and customers.
Our shared passion for excellence and Check Point’s strong
commitment to
Sourcefire’s employees, products, partners, customers and the Snort®
community were paramount in making this decision.
Check Point is known as one of most channel friendly companies in the
industry, and we look forward to leveraging Check Point’s
expertise in
working with channel partners. Many of you are already Check Point
partners and will easily understand the value that the combination of
Check Point and Sourcefire technology will bring to the market. We
believe Sourcefire products and technologies will strengthen Check
Point’s unified security architecture and will further enhance Check
Point's position in providing customers with the most comprehensive
internal security solutions. For our partners, this means
delivering an
integrated best-of-breed solution to ensure your success.
Thank you to all of our Sourcefire partners for your part in
Sourcefire’s success to-date. It was your sophisticated
understanding of
what it really takes to protect your customer’s networks that led
you to
sell and install Sourcefire products. For those partners who
contributed
to our extremely successful 3rd quarter, thank you! We look
forward to
repeating that same success during the 4th quarter, and to
continuing to
work with you to provide these technologies and products as part of
Check Point during 2006.
The acquisition is subject to regulatory conditions and approvals
and is
expected to close by Q106. You can review the press release and FAQ
documents at http://www.checkpoint.com/sourcefire. If you have any
questions, I encourage you to contact your local channel manager.
Sincerely,
Wayne Jackson
CEO
Sourcefire, Inc.
