Are you talking about server HIPS or endpoint HIPS ?  We have been having
this discussion for a while.

We use Sophos as our endpoint protection solution.  We learned the hard
way
that HIPS is a valuable addition to protecting the hosts when set to
something
other than "alert only."  Just be prepared to monitor what it
blocks/breaks so
it can be "authorized."  So far, only a few hosts have had anything legit
blocked.

Anyone finding HIPS truly useful in helping reduce malware infections?
Any tips/strategies?  Things to watch out for?  How are you managing
false positives?
