“‘It used to be that if you had IPS, you were cool and no one
could get into your servers, now it has changed and we’re morphing
too,’ John Burris, CEO of Sourcefire said during the company’s
analyst conference call. ‘Next gen firewall is really about
application control and awareness and this (Immunet) was something
that made total sense with advanced persistent threat client side
attack, and how it fits into Razorback.’

“Razorback is an open source project effort led by Sourcefire
that is designed to be an integrated security event framework to
correlated threat and attack data. Sourcefire is also in the
process of moving into the next generation firewall market as an
extension of its traditional IPS business.”
