Cisco Sourcefire SNORT is a powerful intrusion detection and prevention system that covers various network security threats. It simplifies the configuration process by offering pre-defined base configurations, including security and connectivity settings. These pre-configured settings serve as a starting point for users, allowing them to customize and fine-tune their security policies based on their needs. This feature streamlines the deployment process and ensures that users can quickly establish a robust security posture without building configurations from scratch. Additionally, the intuitive interface provides users with a clear understanding of the parameters they can adjust and the impact of their changes, facilitating efficient management of network security policies.

Our primary use case of this solution is as a firewall, as an access control. We don't use it as access detection or as an intrusion prevention system, because we didn't configure it as a detector.
