Sourcefire, Inc. (Nasdaq: FIRE), a leader in intelligent cybersecurity
solutions, today announced that Gartner, Inc. has positioned the
company as a Leader in the “Magic Quadrant for Intrusion Prevention
Systems.”1
According to Gartner, "The network intrusion prevention system market is
undergoing a period of dynamic evolution. Next-generation IPSs are
available for the best protection, and first-generation IPSs are
increasingly being absorbed by new next-generation firewall placements.”
Sourcefire pioneered NGIPS in 2003 when it delivered real-time
contextual awareness, full-stack visibility and intelligent security
automation to its customers. Sourcefire is also the only company to
offer these capabilities with integrated application control.
The new report also highlights the company’s high-performance FirePOWER™
platform and FireSIGHT® contextual awareness and automation, which are
foundational to both Sourcefire’s NGIPS and Next-Generation Firewall
(NGFW).
Based on FirePOWER, Sourcefire NGIPS addresses enterprise requirements
for flexible configurations, maximum protection, and faster processing
of network data. FirePOWER acceleration technology provides
market-leading performance with lower power consumption, allowing
enterprises better threat detection and protection while maintaining a
proven total cost of ownership (TCO). FirePOWER appliances’ consistent
and linear performance results make them a trusted solution for
enterprise customers who need to scale their network security deployments with larger throughput models.
“After pioneering NGIPS, we continue to be committed to industry-leading
innovation as we deliver on our vision of Agile Security. Our
unparalleled ability to deliver visibility and control provides
customers with true Information Superiority,” said Martin Roesch,
founder, CTO and interim CEO of Sourcefire. “We’re very pleased that
Gartner recognises our execution and vision in the market as we continue
to provide our NGIPS offering to our large enterprise and government
organisation customers.”
