Re: IDS Security Metris

[tim_holman () hotmail com]

There are a few basic things that are being missed out.  An IPS or IDS can and should consist of multiple sub systems 
to be effective - for example a host protection element, a network protection element and preferably a detection 
element to mop up the rest.  Don't expect a single unit to offer you the ultimate in network protection security, as it 
won't, contrary to the belief of many ill educated vendor salespeole out there who see security as a commodity.
Good luck with the homework.... :)
