Sourcefire Inc. (Nasdaq: FIRE), a leader in intelligent cybersecurity solutions, today shares that latest NSS Labs independent IPS tests confirmed that Sourcefire’s Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention System (NGIPS) solutions are protected against 99 percent of all attacks.
The current result is exceeding Sourcefire’s previous industry record of 98 percent set in 2011.
NSS Labs tested three models of Sourcefire’s FirePOWER™ appliances – the 8260, 8250 and 8120 – demonstrating consistency in security effectiveness, exceptional performance and scalability.
According to Chief Technology Officer of NSS Labs, Vikram Phatak, “For the past four years, Sourcefire has consistently achieved excellent results in security effectiveness based on the real-world evaluations of exploit evasions, threat block rate and protection capabilities.”
Security Effectiveness and Performance
According to Ivan Wen, the country manager of Sourcefire Malaysia, “ The FirePOWER acceleration technology built on IPS enabled the device to provide highest performance with lower power consumption. Thus allows the local enterprises to benefit from better threat detection and protection while maintaining a proven total cost of ownership (TCO).”
“The FirePOWER appliances’ is also specially targeted for enterprise customers who need to scale their network security deployments with larger throughput models.”
