Re: IPS Device

["Consolvo, Corbett D" <cc72 () TXSTATE EDU>]

Tipping Point (which we use) has been a great tool, I don't think you can go wrong with that vendor.  It's not quite as 
customizable or inexpensive as Snort, but that comes down to a time versus money issue for us especially when you begin 
to deploy more than two or three sensors.  I will throw in that I think Nitro has the best interface, though.
Thanks,

 I was wondering if other Universities have deployed an IPS solution as a defense in depth strategy. We are currently 
looking at Tipping Point. Any comments on the solution are welcome.

Thanks
