Product Reviews In this section of the report we move from general IDS information to detailed evaluations of some of the market-leading Network IDS (NIDS) products. For this significant group test we invited all the major vendors in the Network IDS market place (if anyone reading this is a vendor who was not invited, please do let us know). Five agreed to take part and be tested using our latest methodology, including: Internet Security Systems, Inc. Three of the five devices submitted for testing failed one or more of the tests and were not awarded NSS Approved. They do not appear in this report, leaving the two listed above, both of which achieved NSS Approved status. Others were not able to submit products in time for this round of testing, and will thus be included in Edition 4. Vendors will be encouraged to submit new releases for testing, thus allowing us to update this report at regular intervals and maintain an accurate appraisal of the IDS market place. This is a relatively immature, yet fast-moving market place, and potential customers need as much information as they can acquire when selecting and deploying such an important component in their security systems. Feedback confirms we are providing a major source of much needed information and advice to security professionals, and the various NSS Group test reports are considered the definitive guides to the security market place.
