    Cisco buys ScanSafe

    Cisco's announcement of the $183-million purchase of ScanSafe followed hot on the heels of the Barracuda-PureWire deal, further confirming the relevance of content security as companies. But while the Barracuda purchase promised to offer the channel more choices in how to sell content security, Cisco's snagging of ScanSafe could well completely shift the paradigm of enterprise content security altogether.

    Upon close of the deal this month, Cisco announced that it would integrate ScanSafe directly into its network infrastructure, pointing to the future of such protections.

    However, this still won't likely make standalone web security completely irrelevant. There are still plenty of non-Cisco shops around and new threats crop up each day.
