Sourcefire was founded in January 2001 by Martin Roesch, author of open source Snort, the world’s most downloaded intrusion detection and prevention technology with over 3.7 million downloads to date. In response to increased demand for a commercial version of the popular software, the company developed the Sourcefire 3D System—Discover, Determine, Defend—a systematic network defense system built on Snort and designed to adapt to dynamic networks and threats in real-time. Sourcefire is a recognized leader in the intrusion prevention appliance market. Other IPS systems can swamp you with false positives. The Sourcefire 3D advantage is that it provides network intelligence and impact flagging, so that users know what is important and needs to be attended to. This reduces the pressure on the security team, which will help deliver operational efficiency gains and reduce operational overhead and resourcing expenses. IPS also offer the Managed IDPS Service offering based on the Sourcefire platform. For more information on their technology and solutions, please refer to Sourcefire's website: |
