Security School: Using IDS and IPS to meet business objectives

Hey everyone! Long time no see. I’m working up some recaps from Deep Sec in Vienna as well as a few 802.1X-2010 updates. In the meantime…

As promised, I’m letting you know about content I’ve done for Tech Target’s SearchSecurity site (publishers of Information Security Magazine).

Below is a link to the Security School I authored titled “Using IDS and IPS to meet business objectives“.

Apparently, I’m wrong.
