What I explicitly mean by this is a VERY trusted third party receiving and responding to alerts via a secure link to the internal LAN. Customer worries like keeping up to date, knowing what is an intrusion pattern etc. are removed. The customer has a 'team' of experts for the price (annual fee) of one guy/gal.
At a recent conference, someone at the Wheel Group vendor booth told me they provide such a service today -- monitored detection & response on customer LANs. Done right (that's the hard part), it's a great idea. The general concept has already more or less proven itself years ago, with monitored alarm systems for homes and offices. We've kinda gone this round a month or so ago, vis a vis managed firewall services, of which I am a strong proponent primarily for the reason you say. Of course that just covers the front door, but it's a step in the right direction. --- Larry J. Hughes Jr. larry () nwnet net http://www.nwnet.net/~larry/
