Snort Training

In 1998, Martin Roesch, Sourcefire founder and CTO, wrote Snort^®, which he termed a "lightweight" intrusion detection technology in comparison to commercially available systems. Today that moniker doesn't even begin to describe the capabilities that Snort brings to the table as the most widely deployed intrusion detection and prevention technology worldwide. Over the years, Snort has evolved into a mature, feature rich technology that has become the de facto standard in intrusion detection and prevention. Recent advances in both the rules language and detection capabilities offer the most flexible and accurate threat detection available.

To help ensure users get the highest possible value out of their Snort deployment, Sourcefire offers a comprehensive training program that includes online courses as well as a chance to gain hands-on training from the creators of Snort. Learn how to build and optimize Snort for your environment and how to leverage the power of the Snort rules language.
