Are you asking if its a good decision to use the Check Point IPS instead of using Trend Micro?  Yes, yes it is. 

I would make sure to look at all the signatures that are being hit on that trend to determine what is being seen in that network.  There is not a one-for-one signature from one to the other.  Check Point signatures are built on different parameters than others.  There are Threat Cloud enabled signatures, live and updated and they are found and core.  Core will be your base types of attacks that match a technique regardless of the technology which leverages it.  Also if there is a certificate for SSL inspection that is not being done on the Check Point gateway, you will need that certificate to see the traffic unless you are passing it already decrypted.

Hi Aherrera, Thank you for your reply. My actual question was, we have tipping point IPS appliance 6200 and 5200. we are planning to migrate it to 5600 checkpoint appliance. my concern is, will 5600 work without any performance issue.

What kind of traffic are you going to be passing through them.  Is it only going to be used as a threat sensor or will it also be a FW/HTTPS/AV... etc?

Well considering that the Tipping Point 6200 is rated for 10Gbps IPS throughput and and the Tipping Point 5200 is rated for 5Gbps throughput, and you are replacing both with a single Check Point 5600 that is rated for 5.5 Gbps IPS throughput with the "Optimized" profile, my guess would be probably not.  However this is dependent on a lot of other factors.

Hi,

Nope, I am planning to replace one to one, which means 5200nx  appliance to 5600 checkpoint appliance. Moreover 5200 IPS appliance have 1 ge port.

I would discuss your exact deployment strategy with your local Check Point office.
If you truly need 10 gigs of inline IPS throughput, a 5600 probably won't cut it.

hi,

you are right, But i come know that Tipping Point IPS appliance have 1 ge port currently. I believe in this case 5600 will work without any performance issue.
