Will OpenDNS Still Have a Free Offering?

July 2, 2015

Cisco has announced it will purchase OpenDNS for $635 million. This will put another security feather in Cisco’s cap. OpenDNS is a system that provides name resolution and security‑as‑a‑service offering that attempts to predict and block attacks on your network. The free DNS offering helps prevent malware infections by blocking access to known sites that carry infectious code. Now that Cisco is acquiring OPenDNS, will the free offering remain free? There has been no response from Cisco or OpenDNS.
