Sorry, what do you mean by PC based solution? ISS Proventia A and G are appliance running a cut-down dedicated Linux kernel. By PC based you mean Site Protector working on Windows?Stephane My opinions here are based on testing I did against all these vendors in the IPS space. Netscreen IDP, Checkpoint (whatever) & ISS Proventia are PC based solution like all PC based solutions it has a bad foundation to build [...]
5 years ago, we were sure the firewalls have to have the solution for all the network stuffs we do not want out of an unsecure network. Force to see it is completely wrong by the time we are having. By the level of experience, I am almost sure ISS and its Managed Security Services are the best to provide the 24x7 SLA we need. Furthermore, I do not trust Cisco, Network Associates or the Yellow_Stuff since IDS and even IPS is not their core business at all, they are just getting profits out of their sales channels ;-) 10 years ago, ISS was already on the game, this does the difference.
