A pioneer in intrusion detection and prevention technology, Sourcefire® was founded in 2001 by the creator of open-source SNORT®, the de-facto standard IDS detection engine, in place at more than 80% of the Fortune 100 and over half of the Fortune 500.

Sourcefire's commercial IPS product leverages the award-winning Snort detection engine, which is a cornerstone of the Sourcefire 3D™ System. Sourcefire's Intrusion Prevention solution defends corporate networks at all stages of the attack continuum—before, during and after the attack.

Sourcefire's IPS is vastly different from a traditional IPS “point” solution. By leveraging threat, endpoint and network intelligence collected by the entire Sourcefire 3D System, it aids security analysts and the IPS itself in making good blocking decisions, and drastically reduce false positives and negatives. The illustration below compares the Sourcefire 3D System to a traditional IPS solution.

By implementing Sourcefire's IPS solution, customers significantly reduce false positives and negatives, allowing security analysts to focus their efforts on those security events that matter most. This greatly reduces operating cost and significantly reduces the potential for network downtime.

Opinion

"Source fire leads the industry with innovation and design, they are the first to include passive (non evasive) vulnerability assessment as part of the protection in the form RNA (Realtime Network Analysis). Through the combination of existing well established Technologies such as SNORT combined with a excellent support they have created a well crafted solution."

CST

"Events requiring manual reviews have been reduced from over 20,000,000 per month down to approximately 2,000 per month. We have been able to reduce the time and number of staff who are dedicated to analysing IDS data, re-utilizing these SOC resources for other activities."

Features & Benefits

Sourcefire's ground-breaking 3D approach – Discover, Determine, Defend – is the first and only Enterprise Threat Management (ETM) solution that unifies IPS, NBA, NAC and vulnerability assessment technologies to provide customers with the most effective, real-time network security for today's real world challenges.

Discover threat, network and asset information using Sourcefire IPS™ and Sourcefire RNA™. Sourcefire IPS uses the industry standard SNORT® vulnerability-based detection engine to bring the benefits of signature, protocol, and anomaly-based inspection methods to your network at speeds up to 8 gigabits per second. Sourcefire RNA passively monitors your network to deliver highly detailed, real-time profiles of your network assets, including their configuration, behaviour, potential vulnerabilities, and associated changes.

Determine policy violations, the impact of security events and the appropriate response. By correlating threat information provided by Sourcefire IPS appliances and Intrusion Agents with endpoint and network information provided by RNA, the Defence Centre priorities security events to determine the most critical events to your business enabling you to take appropriate action.

Defend your network assets. The 3D System gives users the capability to defend their networks before attacks by proactively patching discovered vulnerabilities, during attacks by blocking, and after attacks have occurred by remediation to other devices to minimise damage.
