Is it common practice to implement Snort as an IDS first and let it bake for a while before it gets 'upgraded' to an IPS?
That would make some sort of sense if you're acquainting yourself with Snort and/or the idea of an IDS/IPS and looking to baseline the activity. At the end of the day I would say the choice between IDS/IPS is all about the architecture of your network - in some cases where the slightest FP or outage is damaging to your business then you're not going to run an IPS. - -- Peter Bates Senior Computer Security Officer Phone: +44(0)2076792049 Information Services Division Internal Ext: 32049 University College London London WC1E 6BT -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQUfWxAAoJELhVoVpEMS6R9EIH/jXSrirBs2h8Lf4UMFhNC3XN KXiPxRyttBRc+CdUwoQmEXw6fLVzUeyQJH+ycpwYmSfL/2Mk5MAggYgn3RCSau0b ZssQZl6qUDAzNA17rtwO5+So6PTlyisizy1qq2kgF1ew9iw8xn5lkGmmWbCAMerw qxCb+b3quh4hBOSzTBXCAWDLrDxbfe1xCnSU8yLE79SSy1xuGsVlZb49JZy5KJLU 9n5x37HkJX1KxkRaMCQq4Paasc5UgvUu8+70jXBcv9Hq1XtVWfMkPRSpm7jMcRWv YxdDjwBFLWwsia1wNhRJ6E5i/qhCxlNUGznUzmX7eiCtkN8Zud/HZCAzRlmD/yg= =1sD2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
