Outsourced IDS and Firewall--MSSPs...

[Ryan Murphy <RMurphy () irvinecompany com>]

List,

My company is currently looking into outsourcing our IDS and Firewall
monitoring/management. The 3 vendors remaining as contenders are ISS,
Verisign (Guardent), and Symantec. Do any of you have any thoughts or
experiences you could share as to which of these MSSPs are better/worse? Or
do you know of/have you read any good articles comparing these vendors?

Thanks,

Ryan
