Alarm response strategies

["(infor) urko zurutuza" <uzurutuza () eps mondragon edu>]

  Hi all,

    May we discuss on which are the strategies that the IPS vendors use to prevent/respond from/to attacks?

- When do they change a firewall rule
- When to reset a connection
- When to create an ACL on a router


Are all of the responses used with a logical sense?
Should they been used depending on the type of the attack?
Only depends on the capability of each vendor?
What more strategies are there?

Thank you in advance,
