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.
