Review: Top Layer IPS 5500-50

This device incorporates several features in one box. It has real flexibility, with fully adjustable and customisable policies, port configuration, and management screens. It also offers several different report types, which make finding clear information about attacks or network activity easy. Reports can also be created according to a schedule set by an administrator and saved on the device for review later.

Why IPS won't break your network

Why IPS won't break your network

Back in 2003 Gartner declared Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) as dead. Whether this is true, it is an increasing reality that intrusion protection or prevention systems are increasingly becoming a part of many company's networks. While IDS may be waning, IPS (Intrusion Protection Systems) are on the up, yet there is still a pervasive feeling that such technology can cause a network to break or malfunction.

Review: Attack Mitigator IPS 1000

Top Layer Networks' Attack Mitigator lies at the traditional end of intrusion prevention. It aims to defend against both internal and external hackers using denial-of- service (DoS) and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), as well as giving broad protection against other well-known attacks. This is done using a mixture of stateful inspection hardware and packet inspection software.
