This is an interesting purchase as Matasano is a services company that has some of the smartest people in infosec. For those not in the field, Thomas, Dave and Jeremy are well known and highly respected.
Many acquisitions are to get the talent but I can't remember another one where it's so apparent. The problem is that talent is mobile and $13m for a few super-smart people who leave after a year is expensive.
