Intrusion Prevention is the newest technology that has taken the lime light in the technological industry.  With the growing threat of new and more advanced attacks over the Internet made on enterprise networks, many debates have been surfacing over the effectiveness of Intrusion Detection Systems that report on outside access to internal network resources but do not stop these attacks from doing their damage. 

The debate questions, how effective is it to have Intrusion Detection Systems or IDS in the network versus devices are able to prevent attacks (IPS) from taking down firewalls, and allowing access to internal resources.  Is the age of IDS over and the new age of Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) taking over.  Some of the other resources that have been released over the last few years include:

Secure Content Solutions has determined that IDS is not dead.  IDS provides a specific service within the network that can be used to help analyze risk assessment, network security, and also could provide legal proof when charging individuals who might have entered into the network.  IDS is incomplete however without some form of IPS that will proactively prevent outside attacks on firewalls, or other servers. 

For the reasons above, Secure Content Solutions suggests integrations between the two solutions.  Integrating combined cost effective solutions will provide you with the following capabilities:

Secure Content Solutions provides evaluations of both IDS and IPS solutions.
