Our product Border Guard is part of this new breed of IPS.  We actually
have two versions one that works with your existing firewall and an in
line version that works independently.  Would be interested in anyone's
feedback on the product. Check out http://www.stillsecure.com

I totally agree with you. Next generation IDS  ,also being called
Intrusion
Prevention Systems or Perimeter Security devices are the next step in
the
evolution of the Traditional Intrusion Detection Systems. Vendors such
as
Intruvert, Tipping point ,  Vsecure Technologies , Lancope, Forescout ,
TopLayer (Mitigator) etc, are example of some.
All these vendors claim to have an Intrusion Prevention Systems which
usually has some kinds of Adaptive capabilities, they do behavioral and
protocol analysis and do not based on attack signature (most of them) ,
they
sit in-line (most of them), they mitigate attack without be depended in
other products to do the blocking...

Just noticing some changes with some known IDS companies and wanted some
feedback from the community. Because Marcus Ranum left NFR earlier this
year
and Ron Gula has left Enterasys Networks, I am questioning the future of
some early-on IDS companies. I mentioned some time ago that the IDS
market
will eventually consolidate and it seems like things are moving in that
direction.


To further enforce my point, word on the street is TippingPoint is now
seeking for someone to buy them out. Does anyone else have anything that
could help validate this or these types of trends in IDS companies?



Thanks in advance!
