The rules of preemptive protection are clear. An effective IPS solution relies on a solid foundation of performance, protection and research. Organizations evaluating IPS should look beyond point products or even so-called best-of-breed vendors that offer only a handful of protection, performance or research components. Without all three, the IPS can not stop threats before they impact business. High-performing IPS products keep pace with network traffic and avoid disrupting legitimate operations. With multiple protection methods for identifying and analyzing traffic, the IPS maintains accuracy. Finally, a combination of research, including a focus on vulnerabilities as well as threats, must be infused into the IPS to enable true preemptive protection.
