Vista looking to sell network-security firm Websense -Bloomberg

(Reuters) – U.S. private equity firm Vista Equity Partners LLC has hired Citigroup Inc to help it find a buyer for network-security company Websense Inc, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing sources.

Websense, which was acquired by Vista for more than $900 million in 2013, could be valued at more than $1 billion, but no deal is imminent and there is no guarantee a sale will occur, the report said.
