apply IPS on the outgoing interface

[WINCis]

Is it alright to put the IPS on both incoming and outgoing interface?
i knew that we should put IPS on the incoming interface of gateway to protect our lan.
But what if i want to prevent outside network from the attack perform by my asset in case of compromised one.?

is that the done thing?

Hello what product are you talking about ? if its firepower/FTD, you apply IPS policies on  your access control rules..

you want to apply IPS policy to both outbound and inbound ACLs(traffic). ofcourse if you are hosting servers on the dmz etc.. then you could have a server based (stricter) IPS policy for that traffic to block out attacks..
