Tech firm rejects suitor

Sourcefire Inc. rejected a counteroffer from a California anti-spam firm that wants to acquire the struggling Columbia security-software company.

The company said yesterday that Barracuda Networks Inc.'s sweetened $8.25-a-share bid - 10 percent higher than a previous proposal - is not in the best interest of the company and shareholders. The new proposal is worth $206 million.

Sourcefire shares rose 45 cents, or 5.89 percent, to close at $8.09 yesterday.

Sourcefire is best known for selling software designed to work with its open-source intrusion prevention technology, Snort. It acquired the open-source software Claim AntiVirus last year. Its customers include federal intelligence agencies.
