RE: Scanning a system with HIPS installed?

["Sutton, Paul A." <SuttonP () aafes com>]

You would not be able to manage that laptop. Who is going to perform
security updates on the OS and ensure their AV is and remains current?
What software are they bringing into your network? Unless you have a
guest network no computer that you cannot manage should not be allowed
on your network.

Subject: Scanning a system with HIPS installed?

As far as allowing visitor laptops on your network, when you scan a
laptop you would disable any HIPS/Firewall system that is installed so
as to perform a full scan.

Is there a major reason to not allow a laptop on the network if you
could not disable the HIPS(because of admin rights) and just scanned
it with HIPS running?

thx
