One question that needs to be asked in any IPS evaluation is does the device detect IPv6 attacks. I know a the majority of nets are not Ipv6 but that's not a reason to not have an IPS device be able to detect IPv6. -Randy Marchany VA Tech IT Security Office On Wed, May 26, 2010 at 2:40 PM, Brian Smith-Sweeney <bsmithsweeney () nyu edu>wrote:
Hello all, I have seen the "what are your experiences with network intrusion prevention systems" question come up a few times in the 12-24 months, and thought I would offer to organize a conference call sometime in the next week or so to continue those discussions live. My goal would be to summarize key points from that conversation and reshare them out to this list. This is decidedly non-altruistic - NYU has recently (re)started an IPS evaluation project and would appreciate having access to such a summary. I think it would be particularly useful to discuss IPS evaluation in the context of the publicly available information from NSSLabs, Gartner, and ICSA, to see how that data stacks up against your experiences implementing IPS in a higher-ed environment. If you're interested in participating please send me a note (offline is fine), including which vendors you have experience with. In the unlikely event I get an overwhelming response and have to limit participation I will make an effort to ensure a range of experiences is represented. I'm working on some seed questions now which I'm happy to share if there's interest.
