Re: Cisco Security Agent and other HIPS

[Jason Richardson <JasonR () GWM SC EDU>]

Hi Gary, we're evaluating HIPS products for the same purpose but CSA
didn't make our list.  These three did:

Internet Security System's Proventia Server -
http://www.iss.net/products/index.html
McAfee -
http://www.mcafee.com/us/enterprise/products/host_intrusion_prevention/index.html
and
Third Brigade - http://www.thirdbrigade.com.

Of the three, we're looking the hardest at Third Brigade so far.  I'll
be interested to here of your experience with CSA if you decide to demo
or purchase it.

Anyone be willing to comment on experiences with Cisco Security
Agent or other Host Intrusion Prevention software?

I'd like to put it on things like domain controllers, authentication
servers, management servers, and high value, internet facing servers.

Of course, reliability is a significant concern with those
applications.
