Description

History Headquartered in Columbia, MD, Sourcefire was founded in January 2001 by Martin Roesch, author of open source Snort® , the world’s most widely deployed intrusion detection and prevention technology with nearly 4 million downloads to date.

I think NSS Labs has found an effective visual to represent the market in its SVM, which they have based on the individual and comparative testing of vendors in the IPS space.
