Yeah, just like we (yeah, I work for IBM) 'failed' with the whole e-business thing? We're fucking kicking our competitors asses! Only reason our stock price is low is because of the economy overall. Wake up, dude - IBM is not going to fail anytime during my lifetime.
We have some customers who make $10 USD per second at IBM hosting facilities. In case you're wondering, Vickie's Secret made $3,000 USD profit in the time it took me to write this reply...
Yeah, see - the thing is that when the IDS is in front of the firewall, you're doing attack detection. And when you've placed the IDS system behind the firewall you're doing attack detection.
Of course, there are benefits to doing both or one versus the other depending on the environment. I was disappointed that there was no explaination of the network setup, no diagram, no information about the "production" environment.
I agree with others that the folks who ran this testing were not true IDS Professionals.
Exodus isn't all that bad, but Rob & the gang should check out upcoming Colocation offerings from IBM - the facilities are Qwest, with AT&T, UUNET, Qwest, and Sprint as ISPs.
Lots of redundancy, lots of security, lots of available bandwidth!

Well, IBM will fail once again.
