I would also like to have some specific information regarding intrusion detection systems and where to get more information or who to contact. Including any commercial products or consultants that specialize in this area. Brian - would you share with me any information you may get? Other than what is posted here, of course. Thanks, Larry Sacherich sacherich@ppg.com ---------- From: owner-ids%uow.edu.au To: ids%uow.edu.au Subject: Ids evaluation Date: Thursday, June 08, 1995 12:10AM I want to buy and install an intrusion detection system. Our purchasing department is telling me that I have to provide a list of specifications for an intrusion detection system that can be used to evaluate the features of competing products. Given the little I know of the different approaches that IDS systems use, this seems a difficult task. From time to time I have been surprised by the high levels of ability of people posting on this list and I think that some of them must have been through this evaluation process before. Can anyone e-mail me a starting point for evaluation specifications please, or point me to a good source? Brian Smith, DOS Dummy
