Defending Against Increasingly Sophisticated Cyber Attacks

Traditional intrusion prevention systems (IPS) fall short in detecting today’s advanced persistent threat (APT) cyber attacks. Next-generation intrusion prevention systems (NGIPS)—like HP Tipping Point NGIPS—go beyond IPS by gaining greater contextual awareness and applying it to attack detection.
This study of APTs compares the features of IPS and NGIPS. It presents factors to consider when evaluating vendors’ NGIPS solutions. And it shows how HP TippingPoint NX NGIPS and HP DVLabs offer flexibility and scalability to create a compelling NGIPS solution for enterprises. Read the study to better understand APTs and help plan the security countermeasures your organization needs.
