    As we began to roll out IPSec on our corporate network, it began to
    trigger a lot of UDP port 500 activity on our HIDS systems. These may
    become common place as more places adapt IPSec and their employee's
    laptops then move outside their networks and operate on the internet
    and still attempt the IPSec negotiation.
