My personal point of view is that the REAL question it's that
there is no question. If you want real security at your site
you should have a good firewall and after that a good IPS, and
to complete the team an IDS out of the secure zone, just to see
who's knocking at your door or watching new attacks. Everything
else is just cheap talk from the marketing guys at the 
Firewall/IPS/IDS companies.

The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.
