Sourcefire 3D System Bradford Networks Integration When you suspect your network is under attack or vulnerable, there’s no time to waste. You need to take immediate action to protect your assets and minimize risk. And with today’s real-time dynamic networks and escalating threats, IT organizations must work smarter. Sourcefire and Bradford Networks have partnered together to help you do just that.

 

Through this collaboration, Sourcefire’s leading Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) with Real-time Network Awareness (RNA) will alert Bradford Network’s Campus Manager or NAC Director to network events that require action or remediation, such as limiting network access or denying it all together. With Sourcefire’s Bradford Networks Remediation Module, customers who also have Bradford Campus Manager or NAC Director can now automatically remediate malicious activity, vulnerabilities, and policy violations across all network assets.

Be it in an education environment with Campus Manager, and or an enterprise environment with NAC Director, Bradford Networks provides identity management, endpoint compliance, and usage policy enforcement for both wired and wireless networks. Bradford’s out-of-band architecture avoids costly equipment upgrades or performance bottlenecks and its adaptive platform automates security operations and dynamically adapts to changing conditions. Campus Manager and NAC Director continuously enforce security policies, record detailed historical network activity, and generate reports for security threat analysis and regulatory compliance.

A powerful combination

Leading intrusion prevention capabilities and real-time network visibility enablethe Sourcefire 3D System to identify threats and changes to network assets, so that users can customize and continuously monitor security policies for increased protection. Campus Manager and NAC Director automatically identify authorized users, register devices, and verify device compliance before granting network access. When Sourcefi re and Bradford Networks solutions work in parallel with each other, organizations can achieve even greater levels of protection against both internal and external threats, support compliance strategies, and isolate potentially damaging network anomalies.
