Toby, et al Great discussion today. It was very good to hear that the issues of intrusion detection systems (IDS) are getting out there. I did have one question that I did not get a chance to ask (I had to leave early), that I thought I'd post to the list for all to respond and ponder. Perhaps you talked about this after I left (which I apologize then for asking.) Where do you - and others - see the IDS market going? I am very curious about this out of both capitalistic desires (I want to make $$$ off selling the products) but also from a professional standpoint of how to get the best IDS bang for the buck. For example, although protocol analysis is not a new technology, it seems that only recently it has been mated to high profile IDSs like SNORT or BlackICE. Are IDS's moving toward more PA? Or do simple pattern-recognition technologies still have a place? Or (in the case of BlackICE) will it be a hybrid of both. Is there something else on the horizon? I've heard this notion of mating some advanced artificial intelligence (AI) with IDS - but that seems more Star Trek then reality. Let's discuss this! ------------------------------------------------------ Andrew Plato President / Principal Consultant Anitian Corporation www.anitian.com <http://www.anitian.com> 503-644-5656 office 503-201-0821 cell Yahoo Messenger: anitian -------------------------------------------------------
