Re: Host Based IDS

["Erik Harrison" <eharrison () gmail com>]

how many servers, os variations, what kind of changes are you looking
to detect? basic file changes are easy, it's the rest of it that's
complicated and functionality will vary. past that, reporting will be
important to the managers, execs and if you have a lot of other things
to manage - to you as well.

what exactly do you want to show them, will you need to back up any
other responses with relevant data from your org? any other compliance
or security initiatives in the company that you could support with the
package or product?
