Sourcefire Introduces Appliance

Sourcefire will announce a new appliance to compliment their standard IDS sensor, according to eweek:


Security vendor Sourcefire Inc. on Monday will announce a new security appliance that company executives say will make intrusion detection systems more efficient and valuable in enterprise networks. The Real-Time Network Awareness appliance combines vulnerability assessment and correlation with change management in an effort to reduce or even eliminate the false positives and negatives that plague IDS systems.
The RNA box is meant to work in conjunction with Sourcefire's Intrusion Management System, which is based on the open-source Snort IDS. The appliance starts by identifying all of the assets on a network and assessing their current state. Then, it performs continuous monitoring of the network and alerts the administrator to any changes, such as new devices coming online or unusual services being used on a server.
