I'm sorry for this dumb question, which may have been answered many times.
Where should one place an TippingPoint Unity 50 IPS device? Behind or in
front of a firewall?
That depends on what you're trying to protect. If you're trying to protect
the firewall as well as your network and the IPS can handle the traffic,
put it on the outside. If you're trying to protect your network and your
firewall isn't having problems, put it on the inside.
Ours is on the inside.
I have a/the TippingPoint behind a Check Point firewall. Even though we
externally and internally port-scanned the firewall and the IPS many
times, the activity log did not contain any record of the "attacks".
What activity log?
Are you saying you're not seeing any hits on TP?
