Re: is Checkpoint smart defance is enough ?

Hey

Granted Smartdefense is maturing, but thinking that it will offer
complete protection is silly.

Read this article

A IDS setup will offer unmatched detail of your network, offer anomaly
detection and allow you to correlate your logs.

IMHO a good IDS will always have a place on a network.

cheers
