Re: Network hardware IPS

["barking phrog" <barkingphrog () hotmail com>]

we evaluated several products and found the best overall product to be NAI's 
IntruSheild.  This used to be Intruvert.  It has the ability to create 
policies down to the specific IP address level.  It is also very easy to use 
and "train" to your network.  I have three of the 2600 appliances in our 
network.  great product!
