FIRE | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Open source innovator and Snort(R) creator, Sourcefire, Inc.
(Nasdaq:FIRE), a leader in Cybersecurity,
and Bradford Networks, the leading provider of advanced network access
control (NAC) solutions, today announced that the companies have
integrated the Sourcefire 3D(R) System with Bradford Networks'
Campus Manager and NAC Director(TM) for automated remediation against
potential attacks, vulnerabilities or policy violations. Through this
collaboration, Sourcefire's leading intrusion
prevention system (IPS)
with RNA(R) (Real-time Network Awareness ) will alert
Bradford's network access control (NAC) solution to network events that
require action or remediation, such as limiting network access or
denying it all together.
The combination of leading technology from Sourcefire(R) and
Bradford enables users to easily monitor and respond to issues arising
from unauthorized users, devices, access or activities. Specifically,
this integration provides users with the following capabilities:
--
If the Sourcefire IPS(TM) detects a potentially malicious or
compromised host inside the network, it can alert Bradford NAC
Director or Campus Manager to quarantine that host.
--
If a host violates a Sourcefire compliance rule or white list,
Bradford NAC Director or Campus Manager can quarantine that host.
"As networks are becoming more and more diverse, security teams are
being tasked with enforcing policies on network segments they know
little about," said Gregg Bjork, CEO of Bradford Networks. "Sourcefire's
increased network intelligence enables our solution to take action
against a much wider array of events than we would normally see, which
is a huge advantage to customers who trust us to enforce policies on
critical network segments."
The combination of leading intrusion
prevention capabilities and RNA visibility enable the Sourcefire 3D
System to identify threats and changes in real-time, so that users can
customize and continuously monitor security policies for increased
protection. Bradford NAC Director automatically identifies authorized
users, registered devices and verifies device compliance before granting
network access. When Sourcefire and Bradford solutions work in parallel,
organizations can achieve greater levels of protection against both
internal and external threats.
"The Sourcefire 3D System is much more than an IPS; it provides users
with increased visibility into the systems, users and traffic on the
network," said Matt McCormick, Vice President of Business Development at
Sourcefire. "This integration with Bradford Networks provides customers
the ability to leverage Sourcefire's leading intrusion prevention and
network intelligence capabilities for improved network protection and
compliance policy enforcement."

Bradford Networks sales representative.
