Information Security Mag has a IPS Comparison in their Nov 2005 issue
Quick and Dirty Results =
Cisco Systems - Intrusion Pevention Sensor 4255 Series = B
ISS - Preventia Network Proteciton Appliance 6400 = B+
Radware - Defense Pro = C+
Sourcefire - 3D System Intrusion Sensor 3000 = B+
Top Layer Networks - Attack Mitigator IPS 5500 = A-
Of course, this is just the quick and dirty, there are pro and cons for
all. Kinda have to read the article to get all the reasons.
