Sourcefire developed Snort, an open source intrusion prevention system capable of real-time traffic analysis and packet logging. Snort was acquired (and is now supported) by Cisco in 2013.

Snort

Intrusion Detection Systems (synonymous with Intrusion Prevention Systems, or IPS) are designed to protect networks, endpoints, and companies from more advanced cyberthreats and attacks. The systems aim to repel intruders or, failing that, reduce attacker dwell time and minimize the potential for damage and data loss.

Intrusion Detection Systems

Currently Snort's main use is IPS (Intrusion Detection System) which gives us the ability to give the company real-time traffic analysis along with data packet logging. This is mainly used in the main corporate environment to analysis traffic for any potential malicious activity.

IPS detection.
DoS detection.
Packet logging.

Packet sniffing.
Real-time traffic monitor.

Slow down in SQL transactions.
Improper routing.

At my current position, we have Sourcefire deployed inline in a "layer 2" fashion to allow not only for constant threat monitoring but to also actively block threats and attacks as they occur. We utilize Sourcefire in "Stacks" allowing us to have full redundancy and Five9's up-time and protection. Prior to Sourcefire, we used TippingPoint however, their 10Gbp performance was not as efficient as Sourcefire modules allowing true 10Gbps network performance and scanning.

Real Time updates for security signatures via Talos
Great signature blocking
Excellent reporting via syslog to our Security Analytics collectors.

At times can be unstable with Cisco bugs, require frequent upgrading.
FTD images that are being pushed for ASAs are less efficient from an administration standpoint, no CLI.

The Sourcefire deployment has been very good at actively blocking threats that would have potentially caused loss or compromise.
It has given us great visibility to our network.

Currently we are using Snort in the IT department as another layer of security and protection against intrusions and cyber attacks. Many companies as of late are getting hit by hackers and ransomware. Snort solves many security problems with its open source security system that can scan lots of traffic flowing through the network.

Catches things Admins may miss with regular network scanning
Keeps your network visibility high
Is open source so code can be reviewed easily

Due to its open source nature, it can be behind in updates
It does have quite the complex setup process and configuration
You don't get a whole lot of backend support included

Caught some security issues we would not have known about
Saved time having to configure firewalls to do its same job
Takes some processing time off your firewall to do the job of scanning traffic

We use Sourcefire as an intrusion detection/prevention platform, but also as a form of a web filter, blocking certain types of sites. Its use is centered only in IT, as there's no need for any other part of the organization to use it. The goal of having it is to address the concern of watching web traffic and having a mechanism to aggressively block known bad sites, attacks, requests, etc.
