There's probably two reasons why nobody wants to buy HIDS... First, which especially applies to Blink (made by eEye), it's because it's unusable... I turned it off and uninstalled it after using it for just a few minutes. Second, companies rely on their significant investements in firewalls, IPSes, application proxies, etc and they feel that they are protected enough (I'm not saying that they are correct in their assumptions, but that's what they usually think :-) ). Companies do, however, buy other types of host-based "risk management systems" that try to protect their IP, sensitive information, etc, which also helps them with compliance (SOX,HIPAA,PCI,etc).

A HIDS shakeup? Sana takes in more money and Ross Brown gets fired from eEye's CEO all in the same day? I never can get anyone to buy HIDS. We often recommend it in our reports, but no company ever bites the bullet and does it. Perhaps when they think HIDS they think this: http://media1.break.com/dnet/media/content/pic2903.jpg . I wanted to point out that Applied Security has posted the results from their shmoocon hacking contest (note that I come in last!). http://www.appliedsec.com/conferences.html They've also got a server set up so everyone can play, which, I have to say, takes cojones. I guess that's the sort of thing you can do when you are a sponsor for GRSecurity. -dave _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://lists.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
