One advantage of staying with Cisco is that Cisco IDS will auto modify Cisco router access lists in case of an attack. Although this feature should be configured with caution!!! -----Original Message----- From: Nicholas Diotte [mailto:xphox () xphox net] Sent: Wednesday, 3 September 2003 2:19 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Cisco vs. Snort 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 of going Cisco vs. building a Snort system. What I'm thinking is Snort would be much more of a headake as you need to write/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 are Cisco 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.
