Re: Snort as IDS/IPS in mission-critical enterprise network

[none none <justliketocode () yahoo com>]

Most "enterprise" IDS products are built upon  Snort code my friend. Snort is definately ready for whatever type of  
environment you put it in. Just make sure you follow the snort mailing  list from time to time to keep up on new 
signatures that may not be  added to the snort release.

  We  are thinking to use Snort as IDS/IPS solution in our network where only  port 80 and 443 are open to public 
internet. I would like to know how  will you guys rate Snort compared to ISS RealSecure Network (  
http://www.iss.net/products_services/enterprise_protection/rsnetwork/sensor.php)? Is Snort enterprise ready where it 
can be deployed to monitor mission-critical network?  
   
  If any of you can name any big network which is using Snort as an example, it will be very helpful.
   
  Thanks,
  Native.Code
