Sourcefire, Inc., the creator of Snort® and a leader in intelligent cybersecurity solutions, today announced that it has expanded its IPS solutions portfolio on three fronts with:
“By offering simplicity, sophistication and performance, Sourcefire is providing customers with flexible capabilities appropriate for the unique threats facing individual networks,” said Charles Kolodgy, research VP at IDC.
With today’s announcement, businesses with varying security requirements and network complexity can choose from a range of Sourcefire solutions to enhance their protection, including:
Sourcefire IPSx – A Streamlined IPS Solution for New Markets and Customers
For companies with specific security or compliance requirements, but who may not have a dedicated security team, Sourcefire IPSx offers an intuitive GUI that simplifies IPS implementation and management. This new solution is ideal for channel distribution and addresses needs in many emerging international markets. Sourcefire IPSx will all be available in early May 2011 starting from USD 13,000.
Sourcefire IPS 4.10 – Enhanced Awareness and 3rd-Party Interoperability
Sourcefire has enhanced key capabilities of its existing IPS and NGIPS solutions. The latest version adds increased application awareness, improved GUI performance and added detection for key applications including Facebook, Windows Media Player, Google Toolbar, as well as Apple, Android and Blackberry mobile devices. The Sourcefire IPS 4.10 is available immediately.
New 8000 Series Appliances with FirePOWER – Modularity, Scalability and Performance
The Sourcefire 8000 Series appliances set a new standard for IPS hardware, addressing enterprise requirements for flexible configurations, lower entry prices, and faster processing of network data. At the heart of the new 8000 Series appliances lies the breakthrough FirePOWER acceleration technology, providing market leading performance with lower power consumption, and a universal security architecture that will be able to support a range of Sourcefire security solutions. The new hardware provides users with up to 40Gbps of throughput and over 20Gbps of real-world IPS protection. In addition, based on the 8000 Series scalable design, the new hardware will be stackable to deliver 80Gbps of throughput and more than 50Gbps of protection. With this unmatched performance, the world’s most accurate IPS is now also the world’s fastest.
The new 8000 Series appliances also offer interface modularity, allowing customers the flexibility to choose and expand the number and type of ports to suit their needs today and in the future. As part of the 8000 Series set of network modules, Sourcefire is introducing the industry’s first 40Gbps security interface, which is expected to be available later in 2011. Sourcefire 8000 Series appliances will all be available in early May 2011.
“As an update to our 2010 IPS Group Test, NSS tested the Sourcefire 8260 IPS appliance and it achieved in excess of 27 gigabits of real-world performance,” said Vik Phatak, Chief Technology Officer, NSS Labs, Inc. “Based on these results, the 8260 is the fastest IPS we have tested to date and has the lowest per megabit cost we have calculated.”
“With the exciting additions to Sourcefire’s IPS portfolio, and enhancements to the core technology, we are confident that we have the top offerings for Malaysian enterprises to implement the exact solution to fit their configuration, price and performance requirements,” ends Ivan Wen.

Hackers target [url=http://webhostingreview.info/]web hosts[/url] because there is huge money in the industry if the hackers compromise the right person’s details. Hundreds of login details can hold thousands of websites, thousands of websites have millions of people’s details on them, and millions of peoples details are worth billions of pounds, therefore, when there are billions of pounds involved, there will always be people that try and gain a highly illegal advantage.
Understanding the potential problems with security and viruses for your [url=http://webhostingreview.info/]web hosting[/url] system is essential to stopping any problems. This is an element that you need to make sure you read up on, as not reading up on this information can lead to your downfall.
One of the ways to stop leaving a trace of your actions on your system is to buy some secure third party software that safely gets rid of your information you no longer require. Many companies and individuals alike think that wiping your cookies and your hard drive may be enough to stop potential hackers. Hackers have advanced techniques that can recover your information even if you have wiped it from your system, therefore, having the best third party software is essential to block out even the most advanced of hackers.
Viruses are one of the few downfalls of the computer and the Internet industry. Trojans are one of the most circulated viruses and one of the most dangerous to your system. Not only are they the most dangerous but they are one of the hardest to eliminate. A Trojan installs on your system, and allows the hacker to have access to your computer; this can then allow them to install a keylogger which is dangerous to a web host. A keylogger allows the hacker to see every key that you are pressing; this means your web hosting login details will be seen the next time you login to your system. Remember, this is just one of the viruses that can compromise your web host, there are plenty of others, and they are not terribly pleasant either.
To make sure none of the above takes place, you need to protect your system. In life if you are in danger, then you do not just sit back and do nothing. Buying third party software to protect your web hosting package is a must, especially if you take card details as a form of payment.
Also, making sure you use a web host that has some of the best security features online is another must for your web host company.
