ABSTRACT:
IT professionals are acutely aware they need stronger protection technologies to fill gaps that firewalls alone can't address. Network intrusion prevention systems (IPSes) have been promoted as cost-effective ways to block malicious traffic, and detect and contain worm and virus threats; they can also be used to monitor network activity and assist in compliance requirements.

The IPS market is overflowing with products with a wide spectrum of features that are suitable in a wide array of environments. That means you should be able to find the right one for your enterprise--if you do your homework. In the IPS world, it is especially easy to fall into the trap of buying what a savvy vendor wants to sell you rather than what you need.
