Sourcefire expresses baseball tickets 3D System seahawks displays 4.9 Increases Adaptive IPS Functionality with New PolicyManagement, Usability and Network Visibility CapabilitiesCOLUMBIA, Md.--(Business Wire)--Open source innovator and Snort® creator, Sourcefire, Inc. (Nasdaq:FIRE), aleader in Cybersecurity, today announced the Sourcefire 3D System 4.9, with thenew Sourcefire Virtual 3D Sensor and Sourcefire Virtual Defense Center. Thesenew virtual appliances will enable users to deploy the company`s leadingsecurity solutions within their virtual environments, increasing protection forboth physical and virtual assets. Available during the second half of 2009, theSourcefire 3D® System 4.9 also features the industry`s first Policy Layeringcapabilities that deliver increased customization for large ormulti-organizational networks, including cloud or virtual implementations.
With the new Virtual 3D Sensor and Virtual Defense Center, Sourcefire isenabling customers to:* Secure virtualization - Protecting virtual infrastructure from internal andexternal attacks with virtual security appliances * Virtualize security - Leveraging cost- and energy-saving benefits of virtualsecurity appliances to improve security efficiencyAs part of the Sourcefire 3D System 4.9, the new virtual appliances alloworganizations to inspect traffic between virtual machines, while also making iteasier to deploy and manage sensors at remote sites where resources may belimited ken griffey jr . They also enable Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) and cloudcomputing companies to easily implement Sourcefire`s leading security solutionsfor increased protection seatle seahawks . MSSPs can configure multiple Virtual Defense Centersto support multiple customers from a single VMware server, increasing theefficiency of management efforts seattle mariners . "As companies move more of their critical information and applications intovirtual environments, it is becoming increasingly important to implementinnovative security solutions to protect those assets," said Tom McDonough,President and COO at Sourcefire seahawks . "The new Virtual 3D Sensor and Defense Centerdeliver leading protection for both physical and virtual environments, so thatour customers are never forced to sacrifice security or efficiency.
They willhave the flexibility to select the physical or virtual solution to meet theirspecific infrastructure requirements." Users can deploy Virtual 3D Sensors on VMware ESX and ESXi platforms to inspecttraffic between two or more virtual machines (VMs), while also using physicalSourcefire 3D Sensors to inspect traffic going into and out of a VMware virtualenvironment mariners quilt . Deployed as software running within VMs, the Virtual 3D Sensor alsomakes it easier for users to inspect traffic on remote segments of the networkwhere local IT security resources may not exist (e.g., retail stores, remoteoffices) or where little rack space remains in the datacenter seatle seahawks . The Virtual 3D Sensor will provide simultaneous execution of Sourcefire IPSTM,RNA® (Real-time Network Awareness) and RUA (Real-time User Awareness) functions.Customers can deploy the Virtual Defense Center to monitor any combination of upto 25 virtual or physical 3D Sensors seattle mariners . They can also opt to monitor their Virtual3D Sensors from the same physical Defense Center they use to monitor theirphysical 3D Sensors . Policy Management, Visibility and Control for Cloud, Virtual and Large NetworkDeploymentsIn addition to the new virtual appliances, Sourcefire 3D System 4.9 delivers newpolicy management capabilities that allow organizations to easily customizesecurity to support the varying user requirements of expansivemulti-department/organization networks, as well as virtualization and cloudcomputing implementations. With the industry`s first Policy Layering capability,Sourcefire users can create policy "building blocks" to capture specificIntrusion Prevention System (IPS) requirements by organization, by site, bydepartment, or even by user.
