Intrusion Prevention can be done at a number of places

1. The Firewall
2. The Network (inline IPS lives here)
3. The Host (cross platform issues here!)
- 3a. The Host Network level (TDI or driver stuff, where the current PFWs
live)
- 3b. The Host Kernel / Memory Mangement level (systrace, pax, and their
windows friends)

4. The physical room/building.
5. The policies and procedures.

Sorry. I agree with Ben, but wanted to point out that the stuff that isn't sexy must not be forgotten. (I mean 4 and 5 here, not *me*. :-))
