SAN FRANCISCO (dpa-AFX) - Cisco (CSCO) on Thursday said it has completed the acquisition of OpenDNS, a privately held company that provides advanced threat protection for all devices. Under the terms of the agreement, Cisco paid $635 million in cash and assumed equity awards, plus retention based incentives for OpenDNS.
The acquisition will advance Cisco's Security Everywhere approach by adding broad visibility, enforcement, and threat intelligence from the OpenDNS cloud-delivered platform. In addition to the close of the acquisition, Cisco is announcing the first technology integration of Cisco AMP Threat Grid with OpenDNS services.
