Sourcefire

Sourcefire provides an adaptive intrusion prevention solution which uniquely identifies and responds to changes in network infrastructure. With a detailed understanding of the devices, applications, and services deployed on the network, and their potential vulnerabilities, Sourcefire escalates warnings of meaningful attacks, while suppressing unimportant and irrelevant events—allowing security analysts to focus their time and attention on the attacks that represent a real threat.

Products from Sourcefire integrate with Rapid7 NeXpose to enable efficient prioritisation of alerts and assessment of malicious intent, giving customers a more effective threat impact analysis, covering a wider range of vulnerabilities across applications.

Sourcefire currently manages some of the industry’s most respected open source security projects including Snort®  and ClamAV®, the most commonly used open source anti-virus and anti-malware gateway product in the world, and Razorback™. 

Sourcefire delivers the best of both worlds—open source collaboration and innovation teamed with a fully commercially supported solution. Customers benefit from a migration path to enterprise-class solutions, accelerated development due to open source code, as well as collective intelligence and same-day protection against new and evolving threats from a community of users and security experts.

Sourcefire has significant industry recognition. Sourcefire was named to the SC Magazine Innovators Hall of Fame, received the “Leader” ranking in the Gartner Network IPS Magic Quadrant for the fifth consecutive year, the top “recommend” rating for best detection by NSS Labs Inc. in their 2010 Network IPS Comparative Test Report, a Five-Star Rating in the Everything Channel Partner Program Guide for the Sourcefire Global Security Alliance Program, the 2010 SC Magazine Awards Europe for “Best Secure Virtualization Solution,” and CRN Magazine named Chris Peterson Channel Chief and Martin Roesch Security Superstar for 2010.
