Kurt,
which
Proventia solution do you mean as there are now three, (or even 4!). IDS is
really very much a yesterdays product now, IPS is the way forward with in-line
products such as the Proventia G series which is IDS only and in line IPS,
basically it is the Guard system running on the appliance.
I too
smiled very cynically when I first looked at the M50 but it has a great deal of
power and should be able to handle multiple task dependant upon size. There is
so much hype about "all in one box" and it is like anything else in the IT and
Secdurity World, it depends ........... I learned this recently with content
filtering, a site with 9,000 users worked fine on a single appliance but at
another site of 1,000 users it took three!

We also have all of our IDS 'eggs' in the Solaris basket. I haven't looked at the Proventia, in depth, but when I see Swiss Army knife, all-in-one solution I give it my cynical smile.
Is the Proventia available as an IDS only device, or is it an all or nothing product?

Subject: [ISSForum] EOSL (End of Sale Life) of network sensor running on Solaris !
Hi all,
I have been informed by ISS that they are going to EOSL of network sensor on
Solaris from 1st quarter of 2004! After that, the only supported platforms
will be Windows, Linux(red hat only) and of course their appliance Proventia
(at $10,000 for entry level Proventia Series A) Currently, all our network
sensors run on Solaris which are found to be stable and doing their job
fine. Migration from the nearly brand new Solaris platforms to any of the
new platforms (W2K, Linux, Proventia) will undoubtedly incur huge investment
that cannot be justified.
It will be interesting to hear what you (ISS users) think about this.
Regards.
Bob
