Intrusion Prevention Fundamentals

Angebote / Angebote:

For the first time ever in 2004, virus costs outpaced the costs for any other type of security incident. A new technology called Intrusion Prevention Security (IPS) greatly mitigates the virus problem. IPS can be loosely defined as any device or software which exercises access control to protect computers from exploitation. The wide-scale adoption of IPS is inevitable as Corporations know they need to strengthen their defenses against viruses. Intrusion Prevention Fundamentals can help sort out all the claims, technical literature, and marketing buzzwords. This valuable, fundamental resource will help readers know how the technology works, what problems it can solve, how it is deployed, and where it fits in the security marketplace. The book offers an introduction and in-depth overview of IPS technology. The use of real-world scenarios and case studies are used to walk through the lifecycle of an IPS project from needs definition to deployment. Common concerns, such as how IPS works, the security needs IPS can address, how IPS works with other security products, how is IPS deployed, and what should be considered prior to a deployment are answered. The RFP/RFI guidelines, a return on investment calculator, a sample statement of work (task list, general time frames, etc. for an IPS deployment), and a HIPS/NIPS comparison matrix are included in the book.
