Network Security White Papers
A Methodology and Toolset for Evaluating Network Based Intrusion Prevention Systems
Overview Although Network-based Intrusion Prevention Systems (NIPS) have recently entered the commercial marketplace as an important defense component security strategy, methodologies for evaluating these systems are still quite primitive. Few commercial tools are available for evaluating the security functionality of NIPS, and TippingPoint believes that current commercial tools for testing the network performance of these devices do not effectively test and report a network's protection. As part of its internal testing and quality assurance programs, TippingPoint has developed a suite of tools for testing the NIPS over the past three years. This paper, and the accompanying software, present the results of this effort and provide powerful tools for evaluating NIPS.
