    Willie,

    I used to do a large amount of consulting before I started Applied Watch and
    can provide a testimonial. Not only can IDS' be used for real-time
    detection, but they can also operate as an incredible post-mortem tool for
    finding and locating worm compromised hosts. In the consulting gig I was on
    recently, I used their IDS' to find and locate Sasser infected machines so
    we knew exactly which machines were infected so we could get them cleaned
    and patched. IDS' also offer an awesome post-mortem tool when a worm
    outbreak has occurred.
    Hope this helps.

    Best Regards,

    Subject: Testimonials on IDS

    Hi List,

    I am having a problem getting the budget for upgrading the signature of my
    IDS. One of the requirements being asked of me is to produce testimonials
    from IDS users of the benefit derived from having it. We have already asked
    our vendor to provide such but these were only branded as salesmanthing.
    What they want are experiences from security people and not the vendor.

    What I need is a real life experience on having IDS. What were the security
    issues that you were able to address and how did IDS help you on this?
    Aside from detecting intrusions are there any other use of IDS for your
    organization?

    Thanks in advanced.

    Willie
