The technology behind Immunet anti-malware from Sourcefire. The core design principles of Immunet, which include being able to adapt rapidly, being lightweight (requiring minimal hardware resources) and compatible with other vendors, being data driven, and being community aware.
Increasing security effectiveness and staff efficiency, reducing security and compliance risk, and lowering TCO with the Sourcefire 3D System.
The document explores the characteristics and security concerns in three utility network types—process control networks (PCN)/SCADA networks, smart grids, and internal corporate networks—and explains how the Sourcefire 3D System can help secure these networks.
The document delves into the business drivers that govern telecommunications providers, explores the technical environment and security challenges that naturally follow, and shares use cases where the Sourcefire 3D System has helped organizations in the telecom sector meet their security and business goals.
SSL has become the ubiquitous choice to secure web-based transactions. With the flexibility that SSL provides, it is the obvious choice for securing a host of additional applications and to enable new services as a secure tunneling mechanism. While SSL solves many security problems, it also creates them—encrypting sensitive transactions can enable passing through security measures unchecked.
Virtualization is a concept that has become highly visible in the last few years because of its perceived benefits in reducing costs, enabling rapid deployment, and improving system availability. Sourcefire Virtual 3D Sensors provides the most visibility and flexibility in securing your virtual network by offering:
- The visibility you lose when virtualizing
- Easier deployment over physical
- Better preparation for PCI audits
