Hi,

I'd like to know the general term for Gateway IDS, IDP, IPS ...

Last year, it was discussed about Gateway IDS
- the device that work like a firewall but additionally can block packets
after an correlation with IDS signatures - on this ML.

Now, there are some commercial products, NetScreen NetScreen-IDP, 
Symantec Symantec Gateway Security,TopLayer Attack Mitigator IPS, 
and Sanctum AppShield.
Actually I also made MAGNIA2000Ri/Anti-Hacker for Toshiba Corp.
( http://cn.toshiba.co.jp/prod/iaserver/magnia/2000ri/anti/index.htm
Sorry Japanese page only.)

I'd like to know the general term for these device.
Now I explain my product like this,
"The device for protect Web Server from the attack
that we can't protect by firewall." ( Too long!!  X-( )

I know NetScreen call their products "Intrusion Detectsion 
and Prevention solution."
And also TopLayer call their products
"Intrusion Prevention Solutions."
But It seems there terms are not so common.

Any suggestion is welcome.

Thank you.
