So far there has been a load of talk discussing which is the better technology. Personally i dont think IPS is ready for the big time. Yeah its great for small mum and dad networks, but for large financial networks with billions of pounds flowing across them, would you trust a technology to think and block what it seems as bad traffic? So what are the alternatives? I'd say more host based protection such as: - Stack protection - Application level firewalls (ModSecurity/SecureIIS) - Host based firewalls I'm interested to see what everyone else feels are alternatives to IPS -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Test Your IDS Is your IDS deployed correctly?
