IDS: RE: TippingPoint vs. Intrushield

["Alan Shimel" <ashimel () stillsecure com>]

For those interested SC magazine just published a bake-off on IPSs comparing
most of the leading ones.  Tipping point was a co-winner best buy.  Our own
solution Border Guard shared honors with tipping point and is actually a
fraction of the cost.  Check out http://www.scmagazine.com for details

Jacob,

While IntruShield was not included, 2 months ago I concluded a 60 day,  
independent evaluation of the IPS offerings from ISS, Radware, TopLayer  
and TippingPoint. My methodology was based primarily on that of NSS.

In the end, TippingPoint was selected based on performance, easy of  
use, ease of deployment and by providing under wavering level of  
reliability and accuracy.
