recommendations regarding IPS

Fri Mar 31 22:33:20 UTC 2006

Tipping Point IPS is the gold standard these days.  Signature-based, which
annual fee to get the signatures.  Signatures are usually weekly at a
minimum.  I use the Unity 50, but they do have Gbps IPS.  All of their IPSes
are "bump-in-the-wire" which means that you do not have to assign an address
(operates at layer2 instead of layer 3).
