"\r\n\r\nJuniper Networks this morning announced that it has acquired Mykonos Software, a company that helps developers and publishers protect websites and Web apps from intruders. \r\n\r\nJuniper is putting &amp;quot;approximately&amp;quot; $80 million in cash on the table for the software company, which was founded in April 2009 by serial entrepreneur David Koretz.\r\n\r\nMykonos brags that its security solution is the &amp;quot;only intrusion deception system in the industry capable of detecting an attacker before an attack is in progress&amp;quot;. \r\n\r\nJuniper Networks also offers security solutions, but those are decidedly focused on known attacks, so this is a way to diversify their product portfolio.\r\n\r\nHere's how Juniper pitches the purchase of the San Francisco company:\r\n\r\nWith the acquisition of Mykonos Software, Juniper Networks extends its security footprint to bring next-generation, deception-based web application security to physical, virtual and cloud environments. Customers will benefit from a proactive security approach that empowers customers to stop hackers in real-time, backed by Juniper's scale and overall security portfolio, and strong services and support capabilities.\r\n\r\nThe transaction closed right before Valentine's Day. Awwww."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
