Managed IPS Florida

Managed IPS in Florida is essential with the plethora of risks, viruses, and vulnerabilities out there, and security administrators need to constantly prepare for and mitigate these risks associated with the ever-changing, ever-evolving risk-filled technological environment.

Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) are invaluable tools and are becoming more necessary in any and all environments rather than optional services. Even with today's firewalls, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), and other network protection that are implemented, hosts are still vulnerable to myriad attacks by these proficient hackers through all the different vectors.

To mitigate risks and thereby reduce threats, Information Security needs to be based on a layering effect of technologies which provide you with an umbrella of protection. The introduction of Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) offers one more much-needed layer.

Any single technology represents a singular point of failure and results in too much risk. Employing the different technologies in concert brings risk exposure to threats down to acceptable levels. In addition, combining multiple host protection technologies into a single host protection solution significantly reduces management costs. When developing a host protection strategy, only a comprehensive solution will keep you ahead of the next threat.

Here are some questions to ask to determine how vulnerable your network may be:

• How long ago was my last vulnerability test?
• How many changes and or upgrades has my network had since my last vulnerability test?
• Do the counter measures I have in place to prevent an intrusion actually work?
• What security layers should I implement next to best protect my company's assets?
• Do I know where confidential and sensitive data is located on my network enterprise wide?
• How do I know if my IT Security reports are accurate?
