Re: IDS/IPS - have you hears of NitroSecurity

[Laurie Coles <lcoles () CBU EDU>]

Christian Brothers has also been approached by NitroSecurity and we have a
meeting with them this coming Tuesday. I too couldn't find much information
on them, so I would be interested in any responses to this question.

Thanks, Laurie Coles

Subject: [SECURITY] IDS/IPS - have you hears of NitroSecurity

I am looking for solutions for an IDS/IPS system, and I have just been
contacted by a company named NitroSecurity. Their product looks nice,
but I cannot find much from third parties or existing higher education
customers, how their products compare to the "others", etc. If you have
some info or if you are using a NitroSecurity product, please let me
know.  We have already evaluated other products, but we continue to find
flaws in various products we evaluate, so our search is ongoing.

A search of the EDUCAUSE Security listserv revealed some postings from
the NitroSecurity's CTO (whom I am sure is reading this now), but not
from users.

Responses from universities and colleges are solicited.  However, please
understand that this is not an invitation for responses from vendors.

Thank you.
