| Intrusion Prevention Systems: Will Standalone
Products Survive? |
 |
Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) continue
to be one of the most dynamic segments of the network security market.
Unlike passive Intrusion Detection System (IDS) technology, IPS is
a proactive technology that can block attacks before they reach the
intended target. Besides protecting the network from undesired access,
next-generation IPS products also safeguard the network from malicious
content, and the inappropriate traffic rates that precede worm or
denial of service attacks.
In addition to standalone appliances, basic IDS/IPS functionality
is increasingly integrated into firewalls and multifunction, security
appliances. In contrast to point products, infrastructure companies
are touting system-level solutions that incorporate security technologies
into the network itself. All of these activities indicate that the
network security market will be in flux for quite some time.
To gain visibility into the IPS product segment, In-Stat/MDR
conducted an end-user survey to discover trends in IPS usage, as well
as plans for future security purchases. This report examines the IDS/IPS
product segment, with a focus on the network IPS products, including
five-year forecasts for network IDS/IPS appliances, network IDS/IPS
software, and host IDS/IPS products. |
