IDS Vs Firewall,

Ciao,
segnalo quest'articolo di GartnerGroup,
http://www.gartner.com/5_about/press_releases/pr11june2003c.jsp .
Brevemente:
*****
Protecting enterprises from hackers, viruses and other security
vulnerabilities is a primary concern for all IS departments, and many
have relied on intrusion detection systems (IDSs) as a solution.
However, according to the Gartner, Inc. Information Security Hype Cycle,
IDSs have failed to provide value relative to its costs and will be
obsolete by 2005.
...[cut]...
Intrusion detection systems are a market failure, and vendors are now
hyping intrusion prevention systems, which have also stalled," said
Richard Stiennon, research vice president for Gartner. "Functionality is
moving into firewalls, which will perform deep packet inspection for
content and malicious traffic blocking, as well as antivirus
activities."
According to the Gartner Information Security Hype Cycle research, some
of the problems associated with IDSs are:
    - False positives and negatives
    - An increased burden on the IS organization by requiring full-time
monitoring (24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year)
    - A taxing incident-response process
    - An inability to monitor traffic at transmission rates greater than
600 megabits per second

Un vero problema non riuscire a monitorare trasmissioni maggiori di
600Mbits/sec....
Che ne pensate ?

Real hackers don't die, just their TTL expires. [Unknown]
