Security for the Real World

The Sourcefire® vision—Security for the Real World—is not only grounded in its history but propels the company, and industry, forward. Focused on its mission to deliver intelligent security infrastructure for the most efficient and effective risk management, Sourcefire has become the world leader in real-time adaptive network security, giving organizations maximum knowledge to protect against attacks.

The company was founded in January 2001 by Martin Roesch, author of open source Snort®, the world’s most downloaded intrusion detection and prevention technology with over 3.7 million downloads to date. In response to increased demand for a commercial version of the popular software, the company developed the Sourcefire 3D® System—Discover, Determine, Defend—a systematic network defense system built on Snort and designed to adapt to dynamic networks and threats in real-time. With 6 patents awarded and 37 patents pending Sourcefire has a strong commitment to innovation and continues to break new ground.
