Can I use NeXpose if I have an IDS/IPS?
NeXpose compliments IDS/IPS very well but two important allowances must be made. • NeXpose and the IDS/IPS cannot share the same server. Because of the way NeXpose functions, the IDS/IPS will cause scans to take extra time and be less reliable. • A rule must be created in the IPS/IDS to ignore all traffic from the NeXpose servers IP address. If this rule is not created, the IPS/IDS will treat NeXpose as a threat and attempt to defeat the scans.
