Host-based Intrusion Prevention Update
25 January 2007





Traditional antivirus and personal firewall solutions are no longer sufficient for comprehensive endpoint protection from targeted and zero day attacks and we can't keep out systems patched as quickly as new exploits appear. Host-based intrusion prevention systems (HIPS) are evolving to fill these gaps. This tutorial will provide an overview of the technologies, products and vendor offerings as well as a discussion of best practices for successful deployment.

Topics Discussed

Gartner analysts discussed with participants the following topics:

  • A framework for understanding and comparing the different styles of HIPS protection and an overview of vendors and their offerings
  • Myths and Realities of HIPS
  • Best Practices for successful deployments
