Comment on IDS experts brawl, create confusion on where intrusion detection is headed.parent

Comments

Say what? What about Cisco's IDS engine, which isn't Snort, and was originally WheelGroup? What about Intrusion's? What about Fortinet's? What about Enterasys' (Dragon)?

Two things happened to "intrusion detection":

* The concept failed, and

* The technology got rolled up into middleboxes as part of "IPS" (IDS plus filters) and "UTM" (all-in-one boxes).

There has been a vibrant "market" of IDS engines for over a decade.
