Surveillance or dead lock?
News On a switched network, you need to greatly increase the number of intrusion detection sensors to monitor traffic on all the network segments. Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are surveillance products.

Multidimensional Network Monitoring for Intrusion Detection
White Papers The network traffic description is synthesized by applying methods of theoretical physics and complex systems theory, to provide a robust approach for network monitoring that detects known intrusions, and supports developing real systems for...

Target-Based TCP Stream Reassembly
White Papers The authors revealed that intrusion detection systems cannot be effective and accurate because they do not necessarily process, or perhaps, even observe network traffic exactly as the destination host that receives the message does.

Report: US air-traffic control systems hacked
News Meanwhile, intrusion-detection systems (IDS) are deployed at only 11 of hundreds of air-traffic control facilities and none of the IDS sensors is installed to monitor operational systems at those sites, the report said.

The Critical Importance of Three-Dimensional Protection (3DP) in an Intrusion Prevention System
White Papers Many companies also employ network intrusion detection systems (IDS), which inspect the network traffic and report their findings to log files and databases. An increasing number of organizations, therefore, are using network intrusion prevention...

TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention Systems Data Sheet
White Papers Intrusion Detection Systems, by definition, only detect and do not block unwanted traffic. The TippingPoint IPS operates in-line in the network, blocking malicious and unwanted traffic, while allowing good traffic to pass unimpeded.
