Review: Sourcefire 3D IPS1000

Review: Sourcefire 3D IPS1000

The Sourcefire box does all the things an IPS should do. It fits comfortably in the category of an average IPS, although it must be remembered that the Sourcefire 3D Suite includes a ton of IDS, scanning, and vulnerability management capability which falls outside the context of this review. As an IPS, the box has no standout features, and nothing specifically separates it from other IPSs.

Review: Sourcefire 3D System

Sourcefire calls its 3D System a "network defense system," avoiding the now loaded terms IDS and IPS. But while some of its components are strictly IDS or IPS, the package as a whole deserves a much broader description.
