TippingPoint is now offering an Emergency Response Service for businesses without IDS/IPS. If I read their data sheets correctly, a network manager would call TippingPoint once they ascertained they were under attack or experienced a breach (a little late to the dance if the breach has already occurred, but no matter) and the Emergency Response Team would deploy a fully set up system consisting of an IPS sensor and a management station (within 24-72 hours). It would remain in place for two to a maximum of four weeks, after which time they would "work with the organization to determine long term security requirements and appropriate solutions". This is done on a complimentary basis... I don't see anything about obligation to purchase products or services after the deployment has ended, but I have to believe there would be one. It wouldn't be cheap at all to rush a well-paid team of security engineers and product to a site within three days and have the system up and running (not to mention the possible liability if the IPS blocks legitimate traffic and SLA's are missed). Interesting...
