Title:
IBM Security Network Protection XGS 7100
Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) Efficacy and Performance Evaluation
Publication date:

Abstract:
Network security threats continue to grow not only in number, but also in type
and sophistication. Organizations need protection from zero-day attacks,
advanced persistent threats, intricate evasion techniques, and more. And while
security is a key objective, maintaining network performance and availability
remain top priorities as well. Organizations need both proactive protection and
performance from their network security solutions.
IBM commissioned Tolly to evaluate the effectiveness and performance of its
IBM Security Network Protection XGS 7100 appliance. The IBM XGS 7100 is a
next-generation intrusion prevention appliance, and the model tested was
outfitted with 8x10GbE ports. Efficacy testing encompassed attack detection/
blocking of various threat corpora, both with and without SSL/TLS inbound/
outbound inspection enabled. Performance testing included multi-protocol
throughput with SSL/TLS disabled and SSL/TLS inbound enabled, along with
HTTP connections per second. The system detected 100% of publicly-disclosed
exploits tested along with successfully blocking 100% of the McAfee Evader test
suite.
