Network-based Security Solutions
I'm currently researching security solutions for the service provider environment and figured I'd query the list for recommendations and real world experiences. I know network security is a rather large topic, so let me try to narrow down my area of interest some.. Network infrastructure protection seems to be the topic of most of the security presentations given at previous meetings, however there's not much information out there regarding host and subscriber protection via the network. Specifically my interests are focused on the netflow based solutions, network appliances (IPS, etc..) and traffic scrubbers. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to weed through all the vendors out there who upon closer evaluation are truly only suited for enterprise/small service provider deployments (less than 1Gbs). Any help in narrowing down my focus along with real world experiences is greatly appreciated. A discussion of router configuration, black-holing, sink-holing, and other types of holing isn't necessary. Also, I'm also interested in hearing any suggested testing methodologies or publications that might assist with the overall selection process. Thanks, Josh
