Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), a technology that evolved from firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), have never fully delivered the promised benefits. The technology presents significant challenges and limitations that leave major gaps in the network defenses. As IPS functionality is incorporated into switches and firewalls, standalone systems become effectively obsolete. This white paper addresses the problems and limitations of IPS devices and explains how they leave the network exposed. The paper discusses a new approach that leverages threat data from multiple sources and performs advanced behavioral analysis to provide an IPS that spans the enterprise. It fills in the gaps left by standalone IPS systems and provides a host of new benefits for both network and security administrators?at less cost and in a fraction of the deployment time.
