Executive Summary

The news is filled with reports of networks attacks and stolen data. Consumers routinely undergo the stress of fraudulent charges or compromised credit cards. Terms such as "botnet" have become part of our vocabulary. As a result, security and risk professionals find themselves on a never-ending quest to maintain the integrity of their networks. To provide some insight into the vast array of options available to meet today's threats, Forrester investigated 14 threat mitigation technologies, including encryption, wireless IDS/IPS, unified threat management, and Web content filtering. Compliance-driven products, such as Web application firewalls and network firewalls, continue to remain strong in the enterprise. Network IDS and IPS continue to play in both the best practice and compliance arenas, with IPS poised to replace IDS in most organizations. Also, recent data breaches will benefit the adoption of emerging technologies such as network encryption and firewall auditing tools.
