Paul I wouldn't like to comment on the pros and cons of the products you have selected and how well they fair against each other, except to say that there are many other products out there, both Firewalls and Network IDS, whilst they may not be market leaders they could still be worth considering ..... there are many on the list braver than I that will discuss the pros and cons of your selection. However, with regard to managing input from equipments of different vendors I could suggest a few 3rd party products that correlate such information. The one that springs to mind for Cisco, RealSecure and Checkpoint is NSM by Intellitactics there is a list of it's supported clients at http://www.intellitactics.com/products/supported_devices.html there are a few similar consoles on my website at http://www.networkintrusion.co.uk/consoles.htm though the list is a little out of date but due to be updated ASAP (I always say that). With the 3rd party consoles it's worth looking at how securely they pass the information and how well they correlate disparate information. With regard to your choice of Network IDS make sure you try before you buy ensuring the products are scalable on your network and that the false positive rate is manageable. good luck in your quest, and as always if you discover any 3rd party consoles that I don't have on my list please let me know. take care -andy Taliskers Network Security Tools http://www.networkintrusion.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul E.

Can the Cisco IDS even integrate with CheckPoint? Thanks for your help.
