RE: Intrushield vs. ISS once more...

I've installed both, by far Intrushield captures more via inline or port
spanning, either way it seems to have quite a bit more capability to detect
and report anomalies than ISS has, however, I last worked with ISS about 1
year ago, and have been using Intrushield since. It has a very nice
interface, then again, ISS could be far better then what it was a year ago.
We had a major pen test performed against a site and ISS barely caught
anything. On the flip side we were running Windows based sensors and not an
appliance based sensor, which is what Intrushield uses. They both are good
products, but intrushield is better in my mind.

My 2 cents,

Assuming you have an evaluation copy of each, you could run the CRI against
it and see what that does for you...I know ISS passes, but I've not seen
anyone test Intrushield.
