As a McAfee IDS user with a 95% Cisco network, each time before I buy another Intrushield I ask myself 'How good is the current ASA IDS box?'
McAfee sell themselves on the low ratio of false negative detection/blocking even during the worst attacks and full wire speed, ASIC based throughput with no CPU path for 'difficult' stuff. What it doesn't have is a firewall (I use my current 2 to protect internal segments) Before I spend another 5KGBP (for 1-in, 1-out 100TX) + 1KGBP support I would welcome your experiences with the ASA IDS Kevin White ********************************************************************** This transmission is confidential and must not be used or disclosed by anyone other than the intended recipient.
