Good day,Recently I've been asked to impliment an IDS system within our corporate network. I've been given a more then reasonable budget, so I'm not looking for a cheap/freebie solution. What if any are the advantages ofgoing Cisco vs. building a Snort system.What I'm thinking is Snort would be much more of a headake as you need towrite/obtain rules, whereas Cisco that is not the case.Has anyone had a chance to examin the two devices, and any pointers before I proceed with such an order? Most of our products on our network areCisco based, including all FW, routers, and soon switches.Reason why I'm asking is that I've been asked to do a presentation for our Board of Directors, and as you can see the person in charge before me,implimented nothing but Cisco products.
