| ICSA Labs: IPS Testing |  View the slides |
| RSA Conference • Network IPS experts fielded questions about the state of intrusion prevention, the landscape of evolving threats, and questions about their experiences with ICSA Labs Network IPS testing. Jack Walsh, the former ICSA Labs Intrusion Detection & Prevention Program Manager (jwalsh@icsalabs.com), was the moderator of the panel. He was accompanied by panelists from Fortinet, IBM Internet Security Systems, TippingPoint, and BroadWeb. • Running time ~70 mins. Edited and used with permission. |
Beyond white papers and presentations, ICSA Labs has helped the open source community through its work on improving the Tomahawk testing tool which is useful for properly replaying packet captures in network IPS testing. Nearly 40% of all Tomahawk code was written by ICSA Labs. Review the improvements that ICSA Labs made to Tomahawk and fed back into the open source project.
