Evaluating cisco IPS AIP-SSM-10 allong side Tipping Point S330

[Kurt Carlson]

Hello all,

What are your thoughts on this matter?  I am also going to be looking at the Palo Alto solution for IPS as well.

I'm probably going to use the cisco 4200 sensors if they offer multi segment like the tipping point does. 

I'm looking at protecting the perimiter but NOT replacing my current firewall.  The current firewall is the Microsoft TMG.

I like what I see on the Cisco IPS express.  I've also looked at the CSM for management.  It seems that Cisco is a lot more flexible when it comes to editing and managing the signatures.

ARe there similar experiences out there that you would like to share?

Thanks!

Kurt

Both products are pretty strong. But Tipping point have a much more comprehensive, promptly updated, and a well managed signature base. Both products can monitor multiple segements (terminologies are different).

A good way to compare is to subsribe to their IPS signature updates and see the difference, I mean both from Cisco and DV labs
