Hi, I didn't have the chance to use Active scout and I familiar with that a lot of work has been done recently to reduce the number of false positive detections but in reality security devices that claim to detect attacks without false positives do so only for trivial attacks (attacks that are usually ineffective). They systematically miss out on sophisticated attacks which are more and more common using widely available automated hacking tools.

It claims to have a 100% accuracy , no false positives. I am rather skeptical, but I was wondering if anyone here has any expertise using or evaluating this. Any input is greatly appreciated!
