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. 

About the only thing you can probably do is keep firewalling. I'm prety
sure if you search there are some prety good ones out there for what you
need as it is always a growing concern among corperations
