Raytheon Co. is in talks to acquire Websense Inc., the network-security company owned by private-equity firm Vista Equity Partners LLC, according to people familiar with the matter.
A deal could be reached as soon as this month, one person said, asking not to be identified because the process is private. Vista hired Citigroup Inc. to sell Austin, Texas-based Websense for more than $1 billion, Bloomberg News reported last week. There’s no guarantee the two sides will come to an agreement, the people said.
