No, the lack of visibility into ISS signature content is a major bone of
contention in my shop.

Melih,
I guess you must be special to ISS, from my experience the support has been
sub-par. Also do you like the idea that ISS IDS signatures are not known to
the customer and only ISS ?

Hello Stephane,

We have been using ISS since last two years.(50 Server Sensor,15 Network
Sensor,1 Proventia G 100 IPS),managed by SiteProtector. We tested
Netscreen,ISS,Radware,NAI Intrushield and Checkpoint during our evaluation
period for intrusion detection/prevention systems. Strong level of expertise
and good technical support was one of the big reasons choosing ISS.

Dear All,

How do I choose an IDS/IPS provider if I need a strong level of expertise
24x7x365 and a worldwide representaion? I need it on Netscreen, PIX,
CheckPoint and ISS Realsecure and Proventia.

Thank you,

S.
