FirePOWER network security appliances are based on a flexible enterprise security architecture to deliver industry-best threat protection and low total cost of ownership with unmatched performance, scalability and energy efficiency. Sourcefire FirePOWER network security appliances are the foundation for Sourcefire’s entire portfolio of network security solutions.
Optimized for network security processing, FirePOWER packs unmatched performance into a smaller footprint, leading the market in energy efficiency as evidenced by NSS Labs’ Network IPS Individual Product Test Results for the FirePOWER 8260 and NSS Labs NGFW Individual Product Test Results for the FirePOWER 8290. Unparalleled throughput speeds from 50Mbps up to 40Gbps for threat inspection along with 150 microsecond latency, address the widest range of enterprise requirements. FirePOWER delivers this breakthrough performance with purpose-built hardware acceleration technology and by leveraging three separate data processing stages, each custom designed for particular workloads
The FirePOWER 8290 excelled in NSS Labs testing with real-world traffic mixes and NGFW methodology applied.
FirePOWER received top ranking in NSS Labs’ 2012 Security Value Map for IPS and in NSS Labs’ 2013 Security Value Map for NGFW which measures security effectiveness and TCO.
Flexible Security Architecture
FirePOWER delivers a flexible, enterprise security architecture with the capability to expand and run varied and diverse security functions, including:
- Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS)
- Next-Generation IPS (NGIPS) with contextual awareness
- Application Control/URL Filtering
- Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW)
- Advanced Malware Protection
8000 Series
The higher-end 8000 Series appliances marry an extensible platform with the industry’s fastest and most accurate IPS inspection to fit into your network today and in the future.
