Masgard, You should also factor in any prospective vendor's recommended monitoring and management software. Depending on your requirements this can become significant in addition to the cost/complexity of the basic sensor acquisition. Some factors to include: 1) Is the management solution integrated with the monitoring solution? 2) Can you manage and/or monitor the IDS device directly or do you need additional external software? 3) Does the management/monitoring solution run on Windows, Linux, and/or proprietary appliance? 4) How does the monitoring solution scale? (Both for multiple source devices as well as the number of aggregate events per second.) 5) How does the IDS send data to the monitor? Can you direct output to other systems via syslog, snmp, or ODBC? 6) Does the vendor's monitoring solution support the latest version and signature of their IDS/IPS software? (This sounds odd, but there is at least one large vendor who's monitoring solution does not support IDS code they released to production about a year ago). 7) Can the vendor provide you with three reference accounts who have been using their proposed solution in a production capacity for more than 6 months? I hope this helps. Good luck in your search. Regards, Chad On 10/9/07, M Askar <masgad () gmail com> wrote:
Hi all, We would like to purchase a commercial IDS in our institute. Anyone can give us an idea about the price range of commercial IDS. We need example prices of both Hardware IDS, Software IDS, Signature-based or anomaly based. Also, the updating cost of signatures. Replies from marketing guys as well as rough estimations from others are welcommed. Thank you in advance for your kind reply. Masgad
