Designing, deploying and maintaining an effective network security defense can be a daunting challenge.

Today’s threats are sophisticated. Hackers are cunning. And accordingly, IT security costs are spinning out of control.

Many enterprises have turned to outsourcing—not only for traditional IT infrastructure support, but also for managed network security services. By partnering with a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP), organizations can leverage best practices to improve network security while reducing staffing requirements and ultimately lowering costs.

To be successful, MSSPs must deploy best-of-breed network security solutions to reliably and cost-effectively protect client assets. In doing so, MSSPs are also challenged with differentiating their services, minimizing operational complexity and ensuring that the business is profitable.

Sourcefire is the leader in Enterprise Threat Management (ETM) solutions. By unifying IPS, NBA, NAC and Vulnerability Assessment technologies under the same management console, Sourcefire empowers MSSPs with its 3D Approach – Discover, Determine, Defend – to securing real networks. This ETM approach affords MSSPs with reliable and efficient means to protecting client assets – before, during and after an attack.
