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.

A lot of terms are thrown around when talking about security and intrusion defense, and it can be confusing when the meanings aren't clear. This Pocket E-Guide cuts through the noise and gives you independent, expert advice from security guru Joel Snyder as he defines these terms in the context of a perimeter intrusion defense strategy. 

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.
