Re: IPS + data center

Hello

I mull over how installation of IPS
device can increase security of data
center where the only service are http,
https and domain.

Could someone help me in deliberations ?

Would it help to say that among the paths to intrusion most favored by
attackers are attacks against web applications?

Without IDS/IPS there's nothing alerting you to suspicious http attack
signatures, and nothing locking out the IP's of script kiddies running
scripted attacks against common web application errors.

IPS isn't a substitute for having your web applications and server
configuration pen tested though, to identify vulnerabilities.
