The Proventia IPS GX6116 could be considered the high-end sports car of IPS appliances. Not only does this device include several protection and analysis features — such as protocol analysis for more than 140 different network and application protocols, heuristics and pattern matching — but it is built for speed. The NitroGuard IPS is part of the NitroView suite of products available from NitroSecurity. It is one of a handful of IPS products that allows detailed analysis of captured events. The RadWare DefensePro is an appliance-based product that requires the RadWare InSite appliance for configuration and management. Together these two products are feature-rich and offer the most comprehensive functionality we’ve found. This device is like a slightly stripped down version of a unified threat manager (UTM). The SecurityMetrics IDS/IPS not only includes IDS/IPS functionality, but it is also a vulnerability assessment tool and it can be configured to be a firewall and router. This appliance is also capable of protecting the network from viruses, pornography, backdoors, cross-site scripting attacks and many other threats. The Reflex Interceptor 1000 is an IPS with a twist. This appliance not only has a highly capable IPS with protection for such vectors as intrusions, malicious content, DoS, and anomalies, but it also can be equipped with gateway virus protection and many other features. The Top Layer IPS offers good protection features. This product includes what Top Layer calls Three Dimensional Protection. This software-only product can be deployed as an inline IDS, inline IPS, or deployed off of a tap. Additionally, it can provide detailed threat and asset correlation using its comprehensive surrounding asset knowledge module (SAK). How do you spell trust? Not I-P-S — at least, not if you're an enterprise security manager deploying an intrusion prevention system (IPS) for the first time. Once heralded as the "smarter" cousin of the intrusion detection system (IDS) — destined to eventually kick its kin out of the data center because of its "intelligent" ability to block, not just identify, security threats — the IPS instead has reached a sort of détente with the IDS. Rather than supplanting the IDS with an IPS, many enterprises use the two devices in complementary fashion. Are intrusion prevention systems worth the effort of managing them? Or can you get away with a good firewall? Rob Buckley investigates A recently disclosed Black Hat hacker technique for reverse engineering intrusion prevention system (IPS) data poses a “serious risk” for thousands of enterprises, Gartner has warned.

Panda’s GateDefender Integra comes as a complete-package UTM with many good features. These include a firewall, VPN, IPS, malware protection at the gateway using heuristics, spam and phishing protection at the gateway, plus a web content filter. Fortinet’s FortiGate is another product that has not changed much since we last saw it. This device focuses on three layers of protection: first is a firewall and VPN; the second layer is IPS/IDS; and the final layer is securing content from viruses and spyware, web filtering and IM and P2P blocking. The Sourcefire box does all the things an IPS should do. It fits comfortably in the category of an average IPS, although it must be remembered that the Sourcefire 3D Suite includes a ton of IDS, scanning, and vulnerability management capability which falls outside the context of this review. As an IPS, the box has no standout features, and nothing specifically separates it from other IPSs. The Cyberoam 1000i appliance comes fully loaded with many great features for broad gateway security. These include basics such as firewall, gateway anti-virus and IPS/IDS. We must say that in our ever-evolving world of technology, size really does not matter. This appliance is hardly bigger than a home router, but it packs some big features. The IBM Proventia Network Multi-Function Security (MFS) MX1004 includes a firewall and IPS as well as functionality to catch viruses, spam and phishing at the gateway. This little box also includes a VPN and a web content filter. The ZyWall USG300 combines core UTM functionality with a couple of extra features. This appliance includes standard features such as firewall, IPS and gateway virus protection, and also has a web content filter as well as the cabability to block and control instant messaging and peer-to-peer applications. The gateway anti-virus engine scans critical protocols such as HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3 and IMAP4. Network security needs a face lift with ‘automation and context aware technology’ the key to defending against today’s dynamic threats in the enterprise, according to founder and CTO of Sourcefire. The Checkpoint UTM-1 appliance features the standard UTM capabilities, such as firewall, IPS, anti-virus and anti-spyware. Blink is an endpoint security product that functions as a network protector. Secure Bytes Secure Auditor is actually a suite comprised of several different pieces designed to audit vulnerabilities across a broad range of systems.
