Hey everyone,
I'm currently diving into intrusion detection and prevention systems, and I'm a bit overwhelmed by the variety of tools out there. I'm curious about what IDS and IPS tools you guys would recommend for someone relatively new to this area of cybersecurity. Specifically, I'm interested in tools that strike a good balance between ease of use and powerful functionality. Also, are there any open-source options that you'd suggest starting with?
It would also be great to hear about your experiences—what challenges did you face when implementing these tools, and how did you overcome them? Any tips for getting the most out of them would be greatly appreciated!
Looking forward to your insights and recommendations!
