IDS, IPS, or Endpoint ATP

Many orgs leverage an IDS (e.g., Snort) for detection, though many should really deploy an IPS (e.g., FireEye) for prevention purposes.  Especially when it comes to anti-malware purposes.

However, many orgs are now looking to use advanced threat prevention (ATP) solutions on Web / cloud, mobile, or SaaS email endpoints. 

Low and behold, it makes sense to take a risk-based approach to negating malware / ransomware.  For many orgs, it makes sense to focus on protection sensitive, core competency data that usually resides in a EHR / EMR, ERP, ecommerce standpoint.  For those orgs that host these systems, it may make sense to deploy an inline IPS.
