Automate Your Network Security:
How to choose and configure the right Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) to maximize performance within your network

The standard of in-line, automatic protection offered by an IPS is essential to protect your networks and application infrastructure. But many IT executives are unsure of the criteria they should apply to select the right IPS, namely: performance, security, and ease of use. This presentation incorporates recent Infonetics research data covering customers of multiple IPS vendors with insights into how they are making the most of their systems. We will also share an up-to-date picture of the threat landscape from our proprietary tool ThreatLinQ , which enables you to accurately and effectively configure your IPS to address the latest attacks and vulnerabilities.
