Sourcefire Intrusion Agents enable a Sourcefire Defense Center® to aggregate event information from one or more open-source Snort® sensors with data from Sourcefire IPS™ and FireSIGHT® technology, resulting in:

  • Sophisticated data analysis
  • Comprehensive reporting
  • Impact assessment and prioritization of events
  • Integration with third-party tools
  • Real-time response to actual attacks

Sourcefire Intrusion Agents transmit events generated by open source Snort sensors to the Sourcefire Defense Center, where they can be tightly integrated with the information provided by FireSIGHT to create a real-time, comprehensive view of the security events on your network.
