Re: Is IDS/IPS worthless?

[Pablo Scherer <pablo_scherer () yahoo com>]

Well Andrew...
The story you are telling us is very often to hear
from a finance person. I mean, they only can
"undestand" investment if it returns money, and they
do not understand just the really function of IT as to
"prevent" breaks down.

I´m reading a book just now: "The IT Payoff. Measuring
the business value of Information Technology
Investments", by Prentice Hall, ISBN 0130650749. It´s
in english. I recommend you to read it. It´s just a
"guide" to get the view of the non-IT people. It´s
helping me a lot to get approvals on IT projects.
If you time, take a look to it. 

Regards
