IPS Testing
Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) require constant testing in order to verify that the device is working properly. Every new software upgrade and/or signature set completely changes the way an IPS performs in your network. In all cases, the data derived from any test must be objective, qualitative, and consistent.
Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) Testing Overview
A new generation of content-aware network equipment has forced testing to move up the stack to more realistic Layer 4-7 testing. You simply cannot rely on the same tools and methodologies that were once used to test routers and switches.
Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) Testing Requirements and Examples
In an effort to improve IPS testing, BreakingPoint has introduced a test methodology and video series that can be used as a guide. BreakingPoint CTO Dennis Cox and Systems Engineer Rik Maerz created the test methodology for IPS testing based on real-life scenarios and testing. Below you will find an in-depth video describing IPS testing.
