Re: ASA with IPS

[Richard Robins <richard.robins () draxpower com>]

Try the CS-MARS applicance.

This correlates logs from ASA/PIX and non cisco firewalls and IPS/IDS.

Expensive but very good.

I would agree with steve that the built in IPS on ASA is poor.

Should have gone for a pure IPS device.
