In a deal of undisclosed size, Seattle's WatchGuard Technologies has purchased BorderWare Technologies of Toronto. BorderWare, a15-year-old company that specializes in email and Web security products, employs 90 people.
"This acquisition is extremely complementary and will allow WatchGuard to accelerate and further deliver on its vision of extending security solutions to protect corporate data, networks and applications," said WatchGuard CEO Joe Wang in a release.
