RE: Testimonials on IDS

["Eric Hines" <eric.hines () appliedwatch com>]

Willie,

I used to do a large amount of consulting before I started Applied Watch and
can provide a testimonial. Not only can IDS' be used for real-time
detection, but they can also operate as an incredible post-mortem tool for
finding and locating worm compromised hosts. In the consulting gig I was on
recently, I used their IDS' to find and locate Sasser infected machines so
we knew exactly which machines were infected so we could get them cleaned
and patched. IDS' also offer an awesome post-mortem tool when a worm
outbreak has occurred.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Testimonials on IDS

Hi List,

I am having a problem getting the budget for upgrading the signature of my
IDS.  One of the requirements being asked of me is to produce testimonials
from IDS users of the benefit derived from having it.  We have already asked
our vendor to provide such but these were only branded as salesmanthing.  
What they want are experiences from security people and not the vendor.

What I need is a real life experience on having IDS.  What were the security
issues that you were able to address and how did IDS help you on this?  
Aside from detecting intrusions are there any other use of IDS for your
organization?

Thanks in advanced.

Willie
