Cisco will begin offering IronPort’s e-mail and Web filtering capabilities to its firewall customers after the network giant’s purchase of the security vendor closes on June 25, reports InfoWorld. The malware distribution data gathered by IronPort’s SenderBase IP address reputation service will be blended into Cisco’s Adapative Security Appliance firewall.

Cisco announced plans to acquire IronPort for $830 million in January.
