EDITORIAL RESOURCE GUIDE - Firewall and intrusion prevention systems across various enterprise networks routinely log hundreds of hacker attempts a day. To prevent successful attacks, two key detection approaches have evolved: signature-based and anomaly-based network behavior analysis (NBA). This E-Guide details each approach along with the pros and cons.

WHITE PAPER - A common notion is that an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is nothing more than an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) deployed in-line with blocking capabilities. This paper explains why that notion is incorrect.

WHITE PAPER - For organizations trying to shore up network defenses, it's important to understand how the security threat landscape has evolved. Only then is it possible to determine the best use of network-security solutions -- particularly Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) -- to block ongoing and future waves of attacks. Read on to learn more.

WHITE PAPER - The last thing network security managers need is more complicated management systems to learn. There are four management keys to an IPS solution: Speed of initial set-up; Ease of ongoing management; Flexible management interfaces; and IPS management scalability. This paper will take a good hard look at each of these manageability components.

WHITE PAPER - What makes one intrusion prevention system (IPS) better than another? The best way to answer that question is to assess each vendor's solution on the five building blocks of attack coverage: Knowledge of applications, threat engine performance, breadth and depth of coverage, accuracy, and timeliness.

WHITE PAPER - There is some confusion in the marketplace about intrusion-security systems. Intrusion Detection Systems and Intrusion Prevention Systems have similar names and tend to get lumped together into a single security category: Intrusion Detection and Prevention. But the capabilities and underlying design of these systems couldn't be more different.
