This award-winning device not only incorporates Intrusion Prevention capability, but also supports Virus-wall/ Firewall and Information Wall altogether within a single box. Besides the advanced technology implemented into this device box, the cost is also extremely competitive. “For the price of roughly 2 notebooks, it will bring a full range of network protection for SMB and SOHO businesses”, said Dr. Johnson Liu, International Sales Director at BroadWeb Corp.

• The technology is constantly revolutionizing, in both the underlying paradigms and the quality of the products.
• Type of internet threats is getting more sophisticated and worse in form.
• People started to use it, so it is more “bedded in”, with more user experience.
• The total cost of ownership is falling due to increased competition between different solution providers, reflected in the upfront price of the device and in the installation effort required.

In conclusion, all security products, as any firewall administrators will agree, suffer from being blamed when there are network problems. In the early days of commercial firewalls, whenever there was a network problem the firewall always got the blame, the same is true for IPS and will continue to be for some time. While there are still problems of bridging the credibility gap, but an IPS device is able to provide protection that is not substitutable by any other security device and it is protection that companies increasingly need because of the way that the threat is involving. The question should no longer be “Can I trust an IPS” but rather, “Can I afford not to?”
