What does the Intrusion Prevention Third Edition include?
The Intrusion Prevention Third Edition includes a 60+ file digital playbook delivered by email within 24 business hours. It contains a master operations PDF, a 90-day roadmap XLSX, implementation templates, anti-pattern catalogues, outcomes dashboards, an incident response runbook, plus detailed sections for self-assessment, requirements, models, processes, performance, governance, sustainment, advanced topics and quick reference cards, all in PDF and XLSX formats.
Are you watching cyber-threats outpace your intrusion prevention programme, risking data breaches, regulatory fines and board-level embarrassment? The Intrusion Prevention Third Edition is the decisive tool that transforms a reactive defence into a proactive, accountable security operation. Without it you risk failed audits, lost contracts and costly incident response; with it you gain a complete, field-tested framework to assess, mature and prove your intrusion prevention capabilities.

How This Helps You
- Identify control gaps in minutes, allowing you to prioritise remediation spend with confidence - avoiding expensive audit findings.
- Quantify capability levels across technical, operational and strategic dimensions, so you can justify budget requests and demonstrate measurable progress to senior leadership.
- Translate complex technical findings into board-level dashboards, protecting you from reputational damage and regulatory penalties.
- Implement a phased roadmap that moves your organisation from reactive to predictive intrusion prevention, reducing incident response costs and downtime.
- Leverage anti-pattern catalogues to sidestep common implementation failures, preserving project timelines and protecting against security breaches.
Who Is This For?
- Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) seeking a proven methodology to report intrusion-prevention maturity to the board.
- Security Operations Centre (SOC) managers responsible for IPS tuning, threat-intel integration and incident orchestration.
- IT governance leads tasked with aligning security controls to NIST, ISO and CIS standards.
- Risk and compliance managers who must demonstrate regulatory compliance and avoid fines.
