DoD Directive 8500.1 "Information Assurance"

The Sourcefire 3D® System provides the flexibility needed to protect your enclave. Sourcefire 3D Sensors have full capability to operate in a stand-alone fashion in small enclaves where implementation of an enterprise solution is neither practical nor cost-effective. Conversely, should your network environment grow, Sourcefire can grow with it by implementing Sourcefire Defense Center® for management of multiple sensors from a single platform. With Sourcefire 3D technology, our customers can rapidly deploy a sensor in minutes. Built-in wizards and default Policy Sets combined with all the flexibility of embedded Snort® will rapidly bring your network into compliance. The 3D Sensor user interface allows for easy navigation and management of each individual sensor, but also allows more sophisticated users to import, edit, and create their own Snort rule sets if desired. You will have Snort, the industry standard for threat detection, rapidly deployed with none of the challenges of building your own sensors.
