Terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but Sunbelt Software has announced that it will acquire Kerio Technologies' Personal Firewall product.

This will be re-branded, temporarily, as the Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall, with all existing customers receiving support through Sunbelt once the acquisition is completed, which is expected to be before the end of the month.

'The popular Kerio firewall is a clear technology leader in endpoint security for businesses and consumers,' said the president of Sunbelt Software, Alex Eckelberry. 'We are thrilled to have it as part of our product line and Kerio users should know that we are firmly committed to continuing to provide world-class support for the product.'

Sunbelt says it is committed to maintaining a basic free version of the firewall for home users.
