If your network has one IPS device and one IDS device, where should each be placed in your network? (Select all that apply.)
More IPS and IDS devices should be purchased, and perhaps some combination IPS/IDS devices as well. Place all types of devices in a variety of areas- in the DMZ, between the internal network and the external network AP, and various points within the internal network.
The IPS should be placed in the DMZ (demilitarized zone), the IDS should be inside the network, between the external network AP, and the internal network.
Only place the IDS and IPS device within the internal network. Placing them in the DMZ is pointless.
You don't need the IPS device if you have an IDS device. Just place the IDS anywhere within the internal network, and you're all set.
There is some argument among network administrators and IT security professionals about where the best placements of IPS and IDS devices is, and sometimes it varies according to the arrangement of your network. But most network admins and IT security professionals agree with both of the correct answers to this question. If you can only have one IPS and one IDS, try A. If you can possibly get the budget to buy more IDS and IPS devices and set things up according to answer C, that's the best way to go. Redundancy is always a good thing in a network, for both functionality and security!
