whitepaper Delivering Application-Layer Security at Data Center Performance Levels2008-11-01 Intel
  The shift from network-layer attacks to dynamically changing application-layer threats has dramatically increased security performance needs. Addressing application-layer threats requires an architecture that can quickly evolve to guarantee performance yet maintain a high level of security. While closed, ASIC-based architectures have not been able to make an efficient shift to protecting against application-layer threats. Check Point Open Performance Architecture and Intel processor and technologies provide the foundation needed by telecom operators, large campuses and data centers to gain high performance while maintaining a high level of security. With this open architecture, organizations can deploy security that delivers on the promise of integrated intrusion prevention without fearing the loss of network performance.

whitepaper Real World Intrusion Prevention (IPS): For the Demands of a New Security Reality2008-11-01 3Com
  This paper addresses three primary areas that organizations must consider when formulating network security strategies and evaluating possible solutions for intrusion prevention. First, what are the key network security challenges facing enterprises today and how have they evolved over the past few years? Second, what are the criteria for an effective IPS solution within the context of a new security reality? Third, what insights can be gained from the experience of enterprises already deploying IPS solutions in the real world? This paper explores what organizations can do to apply best practices and make the most of security budgets and resources.

whitepaper Policy-Based Security Configuration Management Application to Intrusion Detection and Prevention2008-10-22 University of Waterloo
  Intrusion Detection and/or Prevention Systems (IDPS) represent an important line of defense against the variety of attacks that can compromise the security and well functioning of an enterprise information system. IDPSes can be network or host-based and can collaborate in order to provide better detections of malicious traffic. Although several IDPS systems have been proposed, their appropriate configuration and control for effective detection and prevention of attacks has always been far from trivial. Another concern is related to the slowing down of system performance when maximum security is applied, hence the need to trade off between security enforcement levels and the performance and usability of an enterprise information system.

whitepaper IBM Proventia Server for Windows 2.02008-10-16 NSS Labs
  NSS Labs performed comprehensive testing of the IBM Proventia Server for Windows 2.0 software as a Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) for use in payment card environments. This paper contains the conclusions and associated data from a series of exacting tests performed on a Windows 2003 Server installed in the real-world test lab. The product is separated into two components: Proventia Server for Windows 2.0 Agent, which is installed on the protected server, and SiteProtector, a centralized management server which is controlled via a GUI Client. Installation was quite simple. All clients are created and pre-configured within the SiteProtector User Interface.

whitepaper Protecting Your Network With Integrated Wireless Intrusion Prevention2008-10-14 Cisco Systems
  The presenter of this webcast will discuss best practices for safeguarding the information by effectively securing the wireless network. The presenter will examine the Cisco Adaptive Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (wIPS), which offers advanced threat detection and classification capabilities. Designed to protect against the ever-changing threats to today's networks, the wIPS can be integrated into the existing wireless network for operational simplicity and cost effectiveness. The presenter will discuss how to best achieve a comprehensive and unified strategy for wired and wireless intrusion prevention using Cisco Adaptive wIPS.

whitepaper Fast Packet Classification for Snort by Native Compilation of Rules2008-10-10 Stony Brook University
  Signature matching, which includes packet classification and content matching, is the most expensive operation of a signature-based Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS). This paper presents a technique to improve the performance of packet classification of Snort, a popular open-source NIDS, based on generating native code from Snort signatures. An obvious way to generate native code for packet classification is to use a low-level language like C to access the contents of a packet by treating it as a sequence of bytes. Generating such low-level code manually can be cumbersome and error prone. Use of a high-level specification language can simplify the task of writing packet classification code.

whitepaper Interaction Between: Nokia Intrusion Prevention and Nokia Firewall2008-10-01 Nokia
  Firewalls provide protection between external networks and internal networks by blocking potentially malicious traffic from entering the internal network infrastructure. However, firewalls inherently need to allow SMTP/email, FTP, SIP/VoIP calls, and other protocols with minimal payload security inspection, which may also allow external threat sources to infect internal end-points and use them as threat sources. A firewall's deep-packet inspection capabilities are not as strong as an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). Nokia Intrusion Prevention provides the flexibility to interact with Nokia Firewall, providing the most effective strategy for threat mitigation, both at the perimeter and deep within the core. This paper explains the interaction between Nokia Intrusion Prevention and Nokia Firewall.

whitepaper University of Westminster Puts Its Trust in Top Layer2008-10-01 Top Layer Networks
  The University of Westminster is one of the most popular universities in the UK with over 20,000 students, 700 teaching staff and up to 1,000 visiting academics. Spread over four campuses, with a unique size and topology, the network was a real challenge to secure. With the help of Top Layer and its Three Dimensional Protection (3DP) technology, the University of Westminster has become one of the first organizations in the UK to fully embrace network Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS).

whitepaper Investigating Intrusion Detection Systems in MANET and Comparing IDSs for Detecting Misbehaving Nodes2008-10-01 World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology
  As Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET) have different characteristics from wired networks and even from standard wireless networks, there are new challenges related to security issues that need to be addressed. Due to its unique features such as open nature, lack of infrastructure and central management, node mobility and change of dynamic topology, prevention methods from attacks on them are not enough. Therefore intrusion detection is one of the possible ways in recognizing a possible attack before the system could be penetrated. All in all, techniques for intrusion detection in old wireless networks are not suitable for MANET.

whitepaper Intrusion Defense Firewall: Network-Level HIPS at the Endpoint2008-10-01 Trend Micro
  Mobile computers that connect directly to the Internet outside of a company's firewall can introduce risk into the corporate network and thus require a higher level of security to protect against network intrusions. Host intrusion defense systems combine intrusion detection and prevention capabilities, and run on the host itself. This white paper examines a blended approach to host intrusion defense in search optimal security combined with an ideal balance between flexibility, control, and ease of management. Specific examples highlight the benefits and pitfalls of the many different filtering techniques. Host intrusion defense systems combine intrusion detection and prevention capabilities, and run on the host itself.
