Snort open source IDS turns 10
,----[ Quote ]
| When it comes to open source Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS)
| one name stands alone -- Snort. Yup the hog is still protecting lots of
| networks and today Sourcefire (Nasdaq:FIRE) --the lead commercial vendor
| behind Snort) issued a release celebrating Snorts 10th anniversary
| (technically the anniversary was December but hey...). SNORT claims 3.7
| million downloads (a few of those might be mine) and over the last ten years
| it has continued to evolve with new IDS/IPS features.

Barracuda Tries to Gobble-Up SourceFire
,----[ Quote ]
| Now why do I focus on the marketing aspect of open source? After taking a
| look at the SourceFire 2007 Annual report I see some interesting things.
| According to their financials for last year they had revenue of 42.7 million
| dollars and sales and marketing costs of 25.8 million. That is 60% of revenue
| spent adding new customers. In contrast their cost of R&D is 34% of revenue.
| So controlling costs or at least helping leverage what they are spending
| should have the biggest impact on their profitability.
