Try looking at RealSecure which runs on Windows OS. -----Original Message----- From: Logan Rogers-Follis - TNTNetworx.net [mailto:logan () tntnetworx net] Sent: Saturday, 16 August 2003 8:42 AM To: Duston Sickler; security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Re: Network IDS Wish I could recommedn a Windows based IDS, but I am not aware of any excep tthe Windows port of Snort. I would also like to hear about any Windows or hardware based IDS that are good. I am sorry to hear they are not open to the *nix world, about the only you don't get with *nix is a cheap admin and alot of support...otherwise I find more stuff to be on *nix than the Win32 based OS. BTw, I noticed the domain name is charter.net, is this your company? You don't have a IDS yet? I got a local Charter office in my town and last I knew they were pretty well on-top of things other than the Lovsan virus caught a lot of the local customers ;-0 (not me though...I am paranoid and have a heavliy configured Windows software Firewall and soon a OBSD IDS/firewall/Gateway) Duston Sickler wrote:
Hello, I would like to thank in advance everyone who is out of the office. I really do like to hear about it. The Network Administrator for the company I work for has charged me to locate a Network Intrusion Detection System. We do have a monitored firewall between us and the outside world. We need something to protect our servers from anyone coming from the inside. We have about 20 Windows 2000 Servers, 5 NT 4 Servers, and 250 Windows 2000/Thin Net workstations. We live in a 100% Windows world and the powers that be will not be receptive to any *nix solutions. We are more the willing to pay for a top of the line product as long is it is in fact top of the line. Currently I have been looking at the Symantec Gateway Device. We like the idea of a stand alone piece of hardware. The only problem is we already have a gateway server washing our email of viruses and 99% of Spam. Does anyone have any comments on the Symantec Gateway device? We have had excellent experiences with there Gateway software and NAV Corp. Does anyone have a different or better device that they could point me towards? I would like to thank everyone who replies to this post. I have learned a great deal being on this list the last year and will continue to appreciate all the expertise that is freely given here.
