Check Point calls off Sourcefire buy
Robert Lemos, SecurityFocus 2006-03-24

Security company Check Point Software Technologies called off its planned $225 million acquisition of intrusion-prevention firm Sourcefire on Thursday, a week before a federal watchdog was scheduled to release a report which insiders say would have blocked the merger on the grounds of national-security interests.

Think about it...who do you think is one of Sourcefire's largest customers? You don't have to think very hard to understand why the CFIUS, who's job it is to protect our national security interests, would hex this deal. Sourcfire is an important asset.
