On Thursday, Shares of Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC), lost -1.96% to $34.03.

Intel is selling Stonesoft, the Finnish cybersecurity company it bought two years ago for $389 million, to Raytheon-Websense, in a deal that could be declared as soon as Thursday, sources said. The unit is known for its computer firewall products, according to Fortune.

This would seem to signify a noteworthy realignment for Intel, which started building out its security software porfolio in earnest when it paid nearly $7.7 billion for McAfee five years ago. Earlier this year it rebranded the McAfee unit as Intel Security.

Raytheon RTN -0.21% , the defense industry giant, bought Websense for $1.9 billion in April as part of its $3.5 billion bid to become a cybersecurity super power. Raytheon-Websense is now actually a joint venture 80% owned by Raytheon, the rest by Vista Equity Partners.

A Raytheon spokesman had no comment for this story and Intel reps did not respond to requests for comment. FortuneReports
