I have been very very unsatisifed with outsourcing IDS to someone else.
Most of them seem to really skimp on getting skilled workers [and
admittedly, it seems like you're almost never going to be able to get
someone with solid IDS experience on the second and third shifts], and I
question how most firms configure and monitor the IDS or whether the
configuration is adequately customized to your individual network. But I
suppose if you don't have the time and skill to do IDS, you've got little
choice.
