Today, the realities of a dissolving perimeter and the limitations of traditional intrusion prevention and detection systems (IPS/IDS) are driving organisations to recast their network security paradigms and embrace a new, more effective approach.
Sourcefire’s 3D approach is a comprehensive intelligent network defense system that unifies intrusion and vulnerability management technologies to provide customers with effective, real-time network security for today’s real world challenges. The 3D System , including Sourcefire Intrusion Sensors and Agents, Sourcefire RNA Sensors and the Sourcefire Defense Center, offers an effective security solution.
Now available on the Crossbeam X and C-Series Security Services Switches, Sourcefire’s best-of-breed technologies that offers true defense-in-depth for networks on a single box. Crossbeam’s XStream technology with secure flow processing enables wire-speed classification of packets through a user-defined suite of security services. This innovative approach consolidates Sourcefire Intrusion Sensor and RNA technology with such applications as firewall, antivirus, and content scanning.
Sourcefire Real-time Network Awareness (RNA) in 3net’s opinion is unique in the IPS space. It enables organisations to more confidently protect their networks through a unique patent pending combination of passive network discovery, behavioural profiling, and integrated vulnerability analysis to deliver the benefits of real-time network profiling and change management without the drawbacks of traditional approaches to identifying network assets and vulnerabilities.
RNA’s innovative technology constantly monitors all network assets (servers, routers, PCs, firewalls, wireless access points, etc.) and provides a persistent view of:
- Network Asset Profiles
- Asset Behavioural Profiles
- Network Profiles
- Security Vulnerabilities
- Change Events
By providing real-time visibility into the status of the network and its assets, Sourcefire RNA adds a layer of intelligence to network monitoring that has rarely been seen before within the network security industry.
3net is a Sourcefire accredited partner with a lab to offer demonstration and proof of concept designs.
