Osaro,
  Intrusion prevention is a popular concept that all Security vendors are touting, as 
it is a popular marketing term.  ISS has been the market leader in intrusion 
detection, evolving the accuracy of detection to the point where customers will feel 
comfortable turning on "prevention" or "protection" capabilities.  Accuracy of 
detecting malicious behavior, programs, or activity is crucial to being able to 
prevent/protect appropriately - as customers do not want to stop or disable any of 
their production applications.  ISS has continually improved its technology with 
Protocol Analysis Behavior, Security Fusion correlation analysis to reduce false 
positives, and inline blocking capabilities.  ISS has also acquired new technology 
from a company named vCIS, where we will begin introducing intelligent protection 
capabilities in all of our products in 2003.  Please contact me directly for more 
details or if you would like a roadmap presentation.

Okena has implemented system call filtering technology, to actively respond to system 
calls whose attributes are considered to be malicious.  This technology is very 
powerful, but can require quite a bit of thought and planning in configuration.  If 
configured incorrectly, this can adversely affect the applications running on your 
servers.  Forescout can tag traffic that is known to be from a malicious intruder or 
someone using a probing technique. This technology is extremely interesting - but it 
seems to be a feature that could be useful as an add-on for intrusion protection.  I'd 
be interested to know if you have installed either of these products, and what you 
find most compelling about either of them.

Subject: [ISSForum] INTRUSION DETECTION vs INTRUSION PREVENTION


My company is looking into intrusion prevention instead of ISS IDS. Does
ISS have any plan to fully incorporate intrusion prevention into their
architecture?
We are currently looking into two companies --- OKENA.COM and FORESCOUT.COM
Any thoughts on those two companies?

Thanks
