Re: Host Based IDS



how many servers, os variations, what kind of changes are you looking
to detect? basic file changes are easy, it's the rest of it that's
complicated and functionality will vary. past that, reporting will be
important to the managers, execs and if you have a lot of other things
to manage - to you as well.

what exactly do you want to show them, will you need to back up any
other responses with relevant data from your org? any other compliance
or security initiatives in the company that you could support with the
package or product?

Hello,

I am currently evaluating several host-based Intrusion Detection
Systems to monitor servers in a DMZ. My company only wants to monitor
for suspecious behaviour on critical servers, without the need for a
company wide security system. I am not interested in a network-bases
ids because this is already covered by our company.
The list below contains my findings so far;

OSSEC
Open Source Tripwire
SAMHAIN
OSIRIS
AIDE
Third Brigade Deep Security
Symantec Critical System Protection
IBM Proventia
Enterasys Dragon IDS/IPS
McAfee Total Protection for Endpoint
CA Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System r8
GFiEventsManager
Cisco Security Agent

I am thinking of suggesting OSSEC. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Babel Timon
