Sourcefire, Inc. (Nasdaq:FIRE), the creator of Snort® and a leader in intelligent cybersecurity solutions, today announced that it was named to SC Magazine's inaugural Innovators Hall of Fame. In the publication's December issue, Sourcefire® was chosen for its ability to deliver innovative network security solutions.

In recognizing the company's industry leadership, SC Magazine cited Sourcefire's ability to respond to newly discovered attacks through its relationship with the open source community. The magazine said, ?When we talk about real innovation, we're talking about the visionaries at Sourcefire as the poster children for pulling off a very tough trick successfully and to just about everyone's satisfaction. If you mention their business model to anyone outside of our industry, you'll get eye-popping stares of disbelief.?

?This year, Sourcefire unveiled two major initiatives, the open source Razorback project and our expansion into the Next-Generation Firewall market, building on our history of innovation,? said Martin Roesch, Founder and CTO of Sourcefire and Creator of Snort. ?Our selection to SC Magazine's inaugural Innovators Hall of Fame is a testament to Sourcefire's dedication to delivering innovative solutions that exceed the industry's expectations.?

The companies recognized in the Innovators Hall of Fame have demonstrated a long-term commitment to excellence and delivered on their dedication. Each of the companies in the Hall of Fame had a five-star win in a group test review, as well as multiple appearances in the yearly SC Magazine Innovators issue.
