I just set up a local exploder for this list here at Open Systems. Our network security group (nsg@open.ch) is working on corporate security and firewalls. I for myself think that while there are a lot of mailing lists covering the technical aspects of implementing security concepts there is hardly any discussion about automated (intelligent?) detection of security threads. As I can see from the 'Introduction to Intrusion Detection Systems' there seem to be some existing intrusion detection systems as of today. I haven't heard of any of those - so, I'm basically trying to catch up with latest technology (as usual :-). --- Goetz von Escher email: Goetz.von-Escher@Open.CH Open Systems AG voice: +41 (61) 262-0505 Basel, Switzerland FAX: +41 (61) 262-0510
