Hello,

I'm using cisco products: Cisco Secure PIX firewall and Cisco Secure
Intrusion Detection System. Both of them hardware solution.

Hello,

I would like to thank in advance everyone who is out of the office.  I
really do like to hear about it.

The Network Administrator for the company I work for has charged me to
locate a Network Intrusion Detection System.  We do have a monitored
firewall between us and the outside world.  We need something to protect our
servers from anyone coming from the inside.  We have about 20 Windows 2000
Servers, 5 NT 4 Servers, and 250 Windows 2000/Thin Net workstations.

We live in a 100% Windows world and the powers that be will not be receptive
to any *nix solutions.  We are more the willing to pay for a top of the line
product as long is it is in fact top of the line.

Currently I have been looking at the Symantec Gateway Device.  We like the
idea of a stand alone piece of hardware.  The only problem is we already
have a gateway server washing our email of viruses and 99% of Spam.

Does anyone have any comments on the Symantec Gateway device?  We have had
excellent experiences with there Gateway software and NAV Corp.  Does anyone
have a different or better device that they could point me towards?

I would like to thank everyone who replies to this post.  I have learned a
great deal being on this list the last year and will continue to appreciate
all the expertise that is freely given here.
