‘Cisco Wants To Buy OpenDNS Because The Intranet Is Dead’ – ‘ReadWrite’
Owen Thomas says, “When I dropped in last month on David Ulevitch, the CEO of OpenDNS, he was cheerily bounding around the rapidly expanding home base of his Internet security empire in San Francisco’s SoMa district. He’d taken over the other side of the building where OpenDNS is headquartered.
Now Cisco, an investor in OpenDNS since last year, is acquiring the fast-growing company for $635 million in cash and stock. The reasons are simple and obvious to anyone who’s been paying attention to the Internet lately: Networks are porous. Firewalls are irrelevant. Work happens everywhere. And new devices are getting added to the network all the time“.
