Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)

Group Test�(Edition 2)

Foreword

Welcome to the Second Edition of the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) Group Test report

This report started life in 2000 as part of the IDS/VA testing project. Given the increase in the number of participants this year, however, we have decided to divide the report into two: one covering Vulnerability Assessment, and the other Intrusion Detection Systems.

Unfortunately, not every vendor who took part in Edition 1 was able to resubmit products this year against our latest testing methodology. This is not because of any lack of desire to participate, however, but rather that they were awaiting a significant new release before resubmitting their products for testing. Next year, when our current methodology will undergo a complete overhaul, we would hope to be able to re-test all of the products in the current and previous editions.

In this report we have sixteen IDS products, two of which are updated and six of which are new entries, including our first look at the most popular open source IDS � Snort. We have also updated the introductory and summary material, which we would encourage you to read since it covers many of the concepts mentioned in the technical evaluations.

Demand for, and interest in, this report has been tremendous. Feedback confirms we are providing a major source of much needed information and advice to security professionals, and The NSS Group IDS Report is considered the definitive guide to IDS. Edition 2 provides independent and comprehensive technical evaluations of the current leading products in the market place, and we hope you find it informative and useful.
