Hi all,

I have a two part question.

First, I am researching different IDS's on the market.
The potential products is pretty narrow as the network
that they will be deployed on is GIG. So far I've read
up on Dragon, SecureNet GIG, & ISS. Are there any
other NIDS that perform well at near GIG speeds that
anyone would recommend? Any experiences, good or bad,
with the above that you wish to share?

The second question is if anyone is actively using
StealthWatch. I've been reading their whitepapers on
the "Flow-based" ID and it seems interesting. It
claims to be neither Signature or Anomaly based. I'm
curious how it works in the real world.

Thanks in advance.

Thad
