Hi List My information was based on the following link by Sourcefire :
http://www.sourcefire.com/news/awards.html And also following the following Link from NSS : http://www.nss.co.uk/grouptests/gigabitids/edition3/pdf/Sourcefire%20IS3000% 20V4.0.2%20WP.pdf Is this different to IPS what the sourcefire claim to be ? Consisting of Intrusion Sensor( above )and Source Fire RNA , combined called 3-d security by Source Fire. Appreciate to know whether this is NOT an IPS by definition of NSS also. I am a bit confused , appreciate any help on this.
