network security

[BuckBennett]

Which is better , IDS or IPS for network security ?

[WebIntellects - Rob]

I think that depends on what you are going to protect. However the price diffrence for both solution is very very important there as well

IDS and IPS work together to provide a network security solution. It’s not a question of which technology to add to your security infrastructure both are required for maximum protection against malicious traffic. In fact, vendors are increasingly combining the two technologies into a single box .

I suppose you need to tell us what exactly in terms of security are you going to do.

IPS is the best solution for network security and other things.I am network engineer its really good and nice.Many big companies are using it.

Hello friends,

An IPS has all the features of a good IDS, but can also stop malicious traffic from invading the enterprise. Unlike an IDS, an IPS sits inline with traffic flows on a network, actively shutting down attempted attacks as they’re sent over the wire.

So if both IPS and IDS workds together it will give the best security..!!

This lightweight network intrusion detection and prevention system excels at traffic analysis and packet logging on IP networks. Through protocol analysis, content searching, and various pre-processors, Snort detects thousands of worms, vulnerability exploit attempts, port scans, and other suspicious behavior. Snort uses a flexible rule-based language to describe traffic that it should collect or pass, and a modular detection engine. Also check out the free Basic Analysis and Security Engine (BASE), a web interface for analyzing Snort alerts.
