Sourcefire Network Sensor

Levels of Protection
A range of sensors are available to ensure proper protection for all network speeds - even beyond gigabit.

Sourcefire Network Sensors are delivered as complete appliances, with hardware, software and operating system optimized for peak performance. Each sensor can be installed in minutes and provides an easy to use web-based interface for all aspects of sensor management.

The Industry's Most Precise Detection
Sourcefire NS utilizes the Snort™ rules-based detection engine, bringing the benefits of signature, protocol, and anomaly based inspection methods to all varying network traffic speeds. This combination of capabilities coupled with the easy to use, open source rules language eliminates false positives and false negatives, while offering the most accurate detection of both known and unknown threats.

Superior Performance
All Sourcefire Network Sensors achieve precise detection with O% packet loss. Each sensor includes the most robust and intelligent stateful protocol stream analysis technology available as well as advanced self-preservation algorithms to ensure sensor uptime. Combined with the ability to load balance across multiple sensors and automate device failover, Sourcefire NS offers the highest performance network monitoring available.

Intrusion Detection for Your Network
Every aspect of the sensor can be configured to ensure that users can detect the events that matter most to them. Flexibility both in the rules language and in the numerous configuration options (port density, interface types, deployment modes) allows users to easily define new ways to identify threats and enforce specific policies for their individual environment.
