ARPN Journal of Science and Technology::Intrusion Detection and Prevention System: classification and Quick Review

Besides the growth of information technology, the security has remained a main challenging issue for organizations. Most of the organizations are facing an increasing number of threats every day in the form of viruses and attack etc. Since many different mechanisms were opted by organizations in the form of intrusion detection and prevention system to protect its organizations for these kinds of attacks. As we are using IDPS for security but still there are security breaches in every organization. In order to understand the security risks and IDPS, we will make a quick review in the form of classification of these IDPS and classifying them in certain groups, we will make a parameter based comparative analysis of different intrusion detection and prevention tools. This paper will mainly focus on classification and comparative analysis of IDPS.
