Get Started With Next Generation IPS
Sourcefire has raised the bar on Intrusion Prevention technologies by integrating real time contextual awareness into inspections. This is Next Generation IPS (NGPIS). What does this mean for you?
-
- Less False Positives
- Less Administrative Overhead
Its SMART and it $aves you TIME and MONEY. Sourcefire Next-Generation IPS collects data about network and host configurations, applications and operating systems, user identity and network behavior and traffic baselines.
Sourcefire NGIPS offers event impact assessment, automated IPS tuning and user identification, to significantly lower the total cost of ownership.
Get the full features and benefits of enterprise-strength NGIS for Branch Offices and/or Business Units to standalone smaller businesses or government agencies with the Sourcefire Bundles. These bundles are fully featured and complete - each contains a Sourcefire Defense Center® management console plus a 3D Sensor.
The Sourcefire Defence Centre is the “nerve center” of the Sourcefire 3D® System. It provides a powerful, easy-to-use interface for categorizing events, generating recurring reports, scheduling automated Snort rule updates, configuring policies, and displaying customizable dashboards to quickly communicate sensor feedback.
The NGIPS 250 Bundle is suitable for 250 Mbs throughput and the Sourcefire NGIPS 500 Bundle is suitable for 500 Mbs throughput.
Below is an example deployment of the Sourcefire 3D system.
Here is how the Sourcefire Bundles will work for you.
Based on SNORT, Sourcefire Next Generation Intrusion Prevention System uses the intelligence gained from awareness of your infrastructure and enables you to magage and automate based on your specific requirements.
Choosing Sourcefire helps you to improve the security of your network because it understands your network, sifts out the unneccessay, bringing the issues that you need to address to the forefront.

Why Next Generation IPS?
The Next-Generation IPS (NGIPS) offers a logical and essential progression of the capabilities needed to protect networks from emerging threats.
Pioneered by Sourcefire, the NGIPS builds on typical IPS solutions by providing contextual information–about network activity, systems and applications, people, and more–that is essential in promptly assessing threats, ensuring a consistent and appropriate response, and reducing an organization’s security expenditures. Sourcefire's vision of the NGIPS builds on three central principles–an open architecture, contextual awareness, and intelligent automation.
This paper examines each of these areas in detail to identify specific functions needed to implement an NGIPS solution, along with the benefits they deliver.
