I was the lead author of the book
Intrusion Prevention and Active Response: Deploying Network and Host IPS. This book was published by published by
Syngress Publishing, and is the first to concentrate exclusively on the concept of
Intrusion Prevention. There are many books out there that concentrate on the concept of intrusion
detection, but few that emphasize intrusion prevention. Although the detection mechanisms used
by intrusion prevention systems are derived from the detection world, there are many interesting
consequences when devices start interferring with network traffic.
