Sourcefire Has Big Plans For Open-Source Snort
The U.S. government may have stopped Sourcefire Inc.'s plans to merge with Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., but Sourcefire still has big plans for the expansion of its open-source Snort-based network security technology.
Many companies incorporate Snort intrusion detection and prevention capabilities into their network-security products. Sourcefire founder and chief technology officer Martin Roesch owns Snort's General Public License, which means he drives the technology's development roadmap.
This includes upcoming features that will let Snort better protect its users from spyware. Sourcefire hopes to capitalize on new Snort features as it develops its Defense Center network security appliance, which uses intrusion sensors and agents and real-time network awareness sensors to aggregate, contextualize, analyze, prioritize, and act on threat information.
