| SourceFire IPS |
Whether deployed at the perimeter, in the DMZ, in the core, or at critical network segments, Sourcefire’s easy-to-use IPS appliances provide comprehensive threat protection. Sourcefire IPS contains multiple default policies for out-of-the box blocking, drawing from a comprehensive library of open Snort rules. Open rules allow customers to verify that rules address the vulnerabilities for which coverage is claimed and to create new rules or modify existing ones to protect custom applications and systems. Sourcefire’s IPS can be deployed in inline blocking and/or passive alerting modes, and can remediate attacks using external devices, such as firewalls, routers, patch management systems, and more.

Built on Snort, the de facto standard for intrusion detection and prevention (IDS/IPS), Sourcefire IPS™ (Intrusion Prevention System) is the foundation of the award-winning Sourcefire 3D® System. Sourcefire IPS uses a powerful combination of vulnerability- and anomaly-based inspection methods—at line speeds up to 10Gbps—to analyze network traffic and prevent threats from damaging your network. Additionally, when Sourcefire IPS is deployed with the Sourcefire SSL Appliance, the benefits of the IPS are extended to SSL-encrypted traffic.
