Re: TippingPoint vs. Intrushield

[Justin.Ross () signalsolutionsinc com]

Jacob:

I implemented a TippingPoint for my prior employer (Govt. service 
provider). It performed extremely well blocking 400,000+ attacks per day 
(mostly Nimda, etc.). It was transparent to our clients (except where they 

saw the drop off of worm attacks), and allowed us to get extremely 
granular in what we wanted to "recognize" and alert/ block on using their 
"custom shield writer". 

We also used it to enforce policy (such as disallowing Kazaa regardless of 
port number used, etc.) It was easy to 
configure and manage. I personally would recommend it to anyone looking 
for an IPS product.

Just my $0.02
