snooze period
An interval specified in seconds, minutes, or hours after a 
 triggers during which the 
 stops firing that rule, even if the rule is violated again during the interval. When the 
snooze period has ended, the rule can trigger again (and start a new snooze period). See also 
Snort
An open source intrusion detection system that performs real-time traffic analysis and packet logging on 
IP networks. Snort can perform protocol analysis, content searching and matching, and can detect a 
variety of attacks and probes. Snort uses a flexible rules language to describe network traffic that it 
should collect or pass. The FireSIGHT System uses Snort to test packets against 
s, 
s.
Spero analysis
A method of submitting file structural characteristics to the 
malware analysis. The results supplement 
.
stack
Two to four connected 
s that share detection resources.
stacking
A feature that allows you to increase the amount of traffic inspected on a network segment by connecting 
two to four physical 
s in a stacked configuration. When you establish a stacked configuration, you 
combine the resources of each stacked device into a single, shared configuration.
standard text rule
An 
 created based on the identifiers, keywords, and arguments available in the rule editor. 
You can create your own custom standard text rules and modify Cisco-provided standard text rules. A 
standard text rule has a 
 (generator ID) of 1.
state sharing
A feature that allows clustered 
s to synchronize so that if either device or stack fails, the 
peer can take over with no interruption to traffic flow. State sharing ensures that strict TCP enforcement, 
unidirectional 
s, blocking persistence, and dynamic 
 fail over properly.
stored file
 that is saved to a 
’s hard drive or 
, if installed. Stored files 
can be downloaded and analyzed at a later time.
sub-server
 called by another server on the same host.
