Host and Network Intrusion PreventionAdded by Papergrl
Description:
As the number and frequency of threats has increased, the increasing complexity of the network environment has made mitigation of these threats harder to achieve. Modern networks have evolved for the purposes of distributing critical information and services to an ever-expanding group of users. The need for access to these critical services has led to the development of redundant communication links, wireless networks, mobile notebook computers, handheld digital devices, even internetenabled cellular phones. These new access technologies and links increase the value of the information systems they support, but at the same time provide more paths for attack and compromise. This paper will address the need for Intrusion Prevention Systems, will explore the two most popular IPS architectures and will try to provide insight into the selection and use of these systems.
