Network Intrusion Prevention
Network Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) are an important part
of any enterprise security solution. Designed to identify and block attacks against internal
computing assets, a good IPS can provide temporary protection and relief from
the immediate need to patch affected systems. The IPS must catch sophisticated
attacks while producing nearly zero false positives.
NSS Labs is recognized as the de facto standard for rigorous testing of Network IPS products. Test reports address security effectiveness, real-world performance, stability, manageability and anti-evasion capabilities. IPS group test reports compare total cost of ownership, presented in our proprietary security value map to enable apples-to-apples comparisons.
Our latest comparative IPS reports will be arriving in mid-2012, following individual Product Analysis Reports on leading IPS products. Find out more about our 2012 testing series here.
