This whitepaper addresses three primary areas that organizations must consider when formulating network security strategies and evaluating possible solutions for intrusion prevention.

1. What are the key network security challenges facing enterprises today and how have they evolved over the past few years?
2. What are the criteria for an effective IPS solution within the context of a new security reality?
3. What insights can be gained from the experience of enterprises already deploying IPS solutions in the real world?

This paper will explore what organizations can do to apply best practices and make the most of security budgets and resources.
