Network IPS: Sourcefire 3D 4500 2010
During Q4 2010, NSS Labs performed an independent test of the Sourcefire 3D 4500 as part of our Network IPS Group Test. NSS Labs evaluated the product configured with the default, "out-of-the-box" settings, then again as optimally tuned by Sourcefire prior to testing to provide a range of information on key IPS security effectiveness and performance dimensions.
While the Network IPS
Group Test Report provides comparative information about those products, this
Individual Test Report provides further detailed information not available
elsewhere.
Learn:
- How the product performed using the default configuration and after it had been tuned
- How the product fared against known evasion techniques
- What level of throughput the product was able to sustain
- What the product's total cost of ownership (TCO) was for one, two, and three years
