Nokia is planning to offer Sourcefire's Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) with its IP Security Platforms.
"At Nokia, we are committed to delivering a complete security portfolio with best-of-breed software such as Sourcefire's to allow enterprises to add key security elements as they mobilize their workers." says Nokia vice president of Security and Mobile Connectivity, Tom Furlong. Nokia announces in press release:
Sourcefire's Intrusion Prevention system leverages open source Snort technology, which it created and manages. Widely regarded as the de facto standard for Intrusion Prevention, Snort has been downloaded more than three million times and protects many of the world's most critical networks. Nokia Intrusion Prevention will offer Sourcefire's technology on Nokia IP Security Platforms, which are purpose-built for security in both traditional and mobile environments, and feature the hardened Nokia IPSO secure operating system. Offering Sourcefire on Nokia gives customers access to one of the industry's best Intrusion Prevention technologies backed by the global scale and world-class First Call - Final Resolution global support services of Nokia."
"Nokia Intrusion Prevention customers will also be backed by the Sourcefire Vulnerability Research Team (VRT), a group of intrusion detection and prevention experts working to proactively discover, assess and respond to the latest trends in hacking activity, intrusion attempts and vulnerabilities. Through its association with more than 100,000 active users in the Snort open source community, the VRT receives the benefit of worldwide visibility into emerging threats.
As Nokia points out, the Intrusion Prevention line will join the rest of its security family, which includes Firewalls, IP VPN and SSL VPN.
