NSS Labs IPS Reports

Sourcefire FirePOWER™ Appliances Excel in Security Effectiveness, TCO, Performance

NSS Labs is without a doubt the most trusted authority in independent product testing, especially when it comes to research and analysis on Intrusion Prevention Systems. The firm recently tested three Sourcefire FirePOWER appliances – the 8260, 8250 and 8120 – all of which achieved 99 percent in overall detection and protection, exceeding Sourcefire’s previous industry record of 98 percent set in 2011. More than that, as a direct example of the “power” of FirePOWER, the 8260 became one of the first IPS appliances tested at more than 30 Gbps for real world traffic inspection.

Demonstrated by these product analysis reports, the FirePOWER appliances’ consistent and linear performance results and low total cost of ownership (TCO) make them a trusted solution for enterprise customers who need to scale their network security deployments with larger throughput models.
