What is Cisco Sourcefire?

Cisco Sourcefire was a network security company that Cisco acquired. Its primary product was a Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention System (NGIPS) that provided real-time threat detection and prevention. Sourcefire's technology is commonly used for intrusion detection and prevention, application control, and malware protection in network environments. Many of the features are now integrated into Cisco's broader security portfolio, such as Cisco Firepower.
