The Need for Defense-In-Depth -- Customers Demand Network Intrusion Prevention An increasing number of organizations are using network intrusion prevention systems in addition to other network security measures to mitigate information security risks. This is a generally positive development, as inline intrusion prevention systems with deep packet inspection capabilities are critical to protecting corporate networks. However, even among those forward-looking companies that have adopted IPS, too many are doing so in an incomplete fashion, focusing only on certain risks that have top-of-mind currency, thereby exposing them to serious varieties of risks they had not considered.

Enterprises must have a sound intrusion prevention strategy across the three threat dimensions: Undesired access, wherein intruders gain access to such valuable assets as proprietary intellectual property or customer identity/credit information; malicious content, including viruses, spyware and other types, which can cause troubles that range from mild annoyances to cost-prohibitive extended network downtime and loss of stored material; and rate-based attacks, which intentionally overload computers or networks with garbage traffic for the purpose of preventing legitimate traffic from reaching its destination, resulting in lost revenue and brand damage for the attacked. A three-dimensional approach which addresses all three of these attack techniques is critical to prevent losses due to complex hybrid attacks that use multiple techniques to quickly spread malicious executables, techniques that can beat traditional security point measures.

The Solution: IPS 5500 E-Series

In order to best combat the threats posed by undesired access, malicious content, and rate-based attacks (and complex hybrid attacks that use multiple elements of these to circumvent static, one-dimensional security tools), enterprises should select and deploy a network IPS solution that addresses all three in an integrated, mutually-reinforcing fashion - as Top Layer Networks does with its "Three Dimensional Protection" (3DP) approach.
