Overall Satisfaction with Snort
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
