| Subject: | IPS false negatives |

| Date: | Thu, 13 Apr 2006 08:38:24 -0700 |
Is anyone aware of research that has been done to qualify/quantify the false negatives that commercial IPS's will pass when running on a default configuration? My understanding is that every IPS ships with only a portion of its rules activated; the reason being that some suspect traffic can either be an attack or legitimate network traffic. Therefore, blocking such traffic can be problematic, and visibility is the only realistic defense. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brian Basgen IT Security Architect Pima Community College ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Test Your IDS Is your IDS deployed correctly?
