Not Your Father’s IPS: SANS Survey on Network Security Results
With cyber crime on the rise, many organizations rely on intrusion prevention systems (IPS) to detect and stop attacks. But to counter increasingly sophisticated threats, IPS is evolving into next-generation IPS (NGIPS). What drives the need for these new systems? And how are they different from earlier IPS?
This study details a survey of 439 IT security and network professionals conducted by the SANS Institute. It explores use of IPS within respondents’ organizations and their plans for future NGIPS. Read the results to understand how contemporaries are using IPS and how NGIPS is evolving to counter today’s cyber threat.
Bot threat
Some of the most serious threats networks face today are “bots,” remotely controlled robotic programs that strike in many different ways and deliver destructive payloads, self-propagating to infect more and more systems and eventually forming a “botnet.” Download this whitepaper and learn how bots work and how, by adopting the right strategy, you can use a defense-in-depth strategy to effectively prevent direct attacks against your critical systems.

Why you need a next-generation firewall:
Next-generation (NG) firewalls, with features such as deep packet inspection, intrusion detection, application identification, and granular control, are important weapons in the battle against hacking and malware. Mobile applications have taken the overall scheme of corporate IT, and NG firewalls enable organizations to incorporate full-stack inspection to support intrusion prevention. This white paper explores the reasons for implementing NG firewalls and lays out a path to success for overburdened IT organizations.

Defending Against Increasingly Sophisticated Cyber Attacks—HP TippingPoint Bolsters Enterprise Data Center Protection
Traditional intrusion prevention systems (IPS) fall short in detecting today’s advanced persistent threat (APT) cyber attacks. Next-generation intrusion prevention systems (NGIPS)—like HP Tipping Point NGIPS—go beyond IPS by gaining greater contextual awareness and applying it to attack detection.
This study of APTs compares the features of IPS and NGIPS. It presents factors to consider when evaluating vendors’ NGIPS solutions. And it shows how HP TippingPoint NX NGIPS and HP DVLabs offer flexibility and scalability to create a compelling NGIPS solution for enterprises. Read the study to better understand APTs and help plan the security countermeasures your organization needs.
