Jacob, I think you misunderstand the point. You can still run IDS and other tools to monitor "hacking" attempts. I read Tervor's email as you can not use the logs of proxy server to point out people using the web for "the likes of visiting porn sites or recieving emails whilst at work. Which is still a grey area in Australia. There have been a couple of court cases reinstating employees for receiving porn in their emails or visiting porn sites.
