Couldn't agree with you more!! Seems kind of a dumb question anyway since I really don't think there can be one "best" IDS/IPS system. Like they say, "One man's junk, is another man's treasure" and everyone will always have different opinions as to which program is better than the other. It all boils down to research, testing, and finding the one that works best for your environment. --- Tom Van de Wiele <tom.vandewiele () gmail com> wrote:
Hi list I don't know if this annoyance has hit you guys/girls, but it seems that the focus-ids list receives at least one request per week about "what is the best IDS/IPS system?". Does this raise the need for a FAQ or central website that these people can be redirected to? I'm getting a bit tired of seeing the same questions over and over again, and the same people answering them in the style of "cisco sux, tippingpoint is better!" without any decent technical arguments as to why that IDS/IPS system seems to be "better" (mind the quotes) in that particular setup in that particular infrastructure.
