Research and Markets: Select an Intrusion Detection and Prevention System - Bad Guys Will Get In; Make Sure They Don't Get Far With an Enterprise Network Alarm

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3899a3/select_an_intrusio) has announced the addition of Info-Tech Research Group's new report "Select an Intrusion Detection and Prevention System" to their offering.

Bad guys will get in; make sure they don't get far with an enterprise network alarm.

Your Challenge

• Enterprises cannot simply rely on a strong front door to keep the bad guys out of the enterprise network; firewalls are necessary, but an Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) is important to detect them once they get in.
• Implementing an IDPS requires enterprises to choose between dedicated or consolidated solutions, in-house versus outsourced management, and perimeter or internal deployment, not to mention which tool is right. These decisions can radically impact overall security.
• Getting the strategy, architecture, and product selection right means enhanced enterprise security at a manageable cost; picking wrong could mean higher cost, lower security, or both.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

• Intrusion Detection was declared dead in 2004, the proclamation was early then, but technology doesn't stand still and Intrusion Prevention has now fully replaced that older technology, though in most cases, solutions can still be deployed in detection only modes.
• Today's IDPS are more capable than ever before, offering multiple scanning paradigms including signature, behavior, reputation and even application and protocol specific scanning methods.
• Strategy determination and product selection can be trivial concerns when compared with the complexity of the implementation and operation an IDPS; a methodical and careful deployment ensures that enterprises improve security without undermining business opportunities.
