Eight Questions To Ask About Your Intrusion-Security Solution

Tags:
firewalls

Overview Network security is too important to fall victim to marketplace confusion and misleading claims. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) have similar names and market analysts tend to lump them together into a single security category - IDP (Intrusion Detection and Prevention). However, the capabilities and underlying design of intrusion detection and intrusion prevention systems couldn't be more different. Before you commit to an intrusion-security solution, learn the right questions to ask before you buy. And expect to uncover clear, compelling answers that will keep your network safe.
