Sourcefire Inc., a Columbia-based cybersecurity company, said Wednesday it acquired for $21 million a California company that specializes in providing digital protection to users of Internet-based computing networks.
Sourcefire said it was paying $21 million cash for Immunet, a Palo Alto, Calif.-based company. The deal included $17 million paid out immediately and $4 million paid over the next 18 months if Immunet reaches unspecified milestones for its software targeted for business use, which it plans to roll out this year.
