| Review: | Intrusion protection systems (IPS) are security protection devices or applications that can prevent attacks against your network devices. This book provides an introduction and in-depth overview of intrusion protection systems (IPS) as a technology, rather than being a technical configuration guide. It explains the history and evolution of IPS, how they work, what problems they can solve, the components involved, and how it works with other security products. It also explains best practices as applied to IPS, and how it is deployed. Cisco IPS products are used as examples to illustrate how IPS works, and help the reader make decisions about how and where to use the technology and what types of IPS are available. |
