NewsForge | Build an IDS with Snort, Shadow, and ACID
“Every organization understands the importance of using a firewall to protect its assets. But what happens if someone finds a hole in the wall? What if the infiltrator is actually someone from within your organization who wants to access information that he shouldn’t?
