IPS Vs. IDS: Similar on the Surface, Polar Opposites Underneath
White Papers A common notion is that an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is nothing more than an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) deployed in-line with blocking capabilities. Although IPS and IDS both examine traffic looking for attacks, there are critical...

Beyond the Perimeter: Enterprise-wide Intrusion Prevention
White Papers Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), a technology that evolved from firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), have never fully delivered the promised benefits. As IPS functionality is incorporated into switches and firewalls, standalone...
