I'm guessing you copied me for some feedback on this Mark. For those of you
who don't know me, I'm part of the product management team for RealSecure.
I'll give you a three part answer here...

1. The official answer is that we are working towards supporting this
platform, for both host and network based IDS sensors, by the end of the
year. That is a "worst case" timeframe and we're doing everything we can to
push that schedule to an earlier date.

2. The unofficial answer is that we already have multiple customers running
the Network Engine (soon to be renamed as the Network Sensor) successfully
on Windows 2000, even though it is not officially supported. You may say,
"if it's working, why not say it's supported". The answer is that ISS is
committed to quality and we won't say anything is supported until we've put
it through extensive QA and testing.

3. The System Agent (soon to be renamed the OS Sensor) is a little tougher
because Microsoft made non-trivial changes to their OS error codes. We've
run the NT System Agent on Windows 2000 in our labs. We were able to use the
host IDS on
W2K, but we were missing W2K-specific events. Also, some of the old events
were not parsed correctly because the old NT error codes are different in
W2K. Our research team has completed the listing of new W2K error codes for
our Savant guide so now it's just a matter of making the changes in the
product. Believe it or not, just figuring out what all the new error codes
are (many not documented by Microsoft) was the hard part!

hope that helps...

Ok, I've got to ask - why on earth would you want to run an IDS on win2k?

Have you not heard enough horror stories already? Hell, win2k can't even
handle DNS properly!!!! Or at least, from a network perspective.

If you are forced to deploy win2k I guess maybe having a host-based
product might be helpful.

Quivering at the thought,

-Greg

It's kinda like the definition of a zen master. No one who is actually a master would call themselves a master, because only the true masters understand and appreciate how much they don't know.

Hi, May I suggest that you surf your way out to http://www.cve.mitre.org/ . You may find much useful information there. Most of the IDS vendors (like us) go there to synchronize and share info. Another site you may try is http://www.gidos.org/ for CIDF, a more technically oriented IDS site where an attempt is being made to completely automate the info sharing process.

I also agree that there are problems with support and that the GUI for ITA 3.0.1 needs some improvement. Overall, I have been pleased with ITA's performance, and have not had any system problems. One thing you want to make sure of, is to go through full dev and/or QC testing of system performance and benchmark everything before install, after install without any policies and after install with a minimum set of policies on. A problem here was that some system people said ITA cause a performance hit, but they provided no documentation, and I unfortunately having inherited the ITA project, didn't have any documented tests showing the impact of ITA under certain circumstances. I still recommend ITA to anyone wanting to use host based IDS.

ESM 5.01GA had some other issues regarding the HP-UX 11.0 platforms, and Digital Operating Systems.. The documentation set is somewhat disorganized and some of the operating system syntax is not quite correct, close but not correct.

ITA 3.01GA has the same nuances as Axent ESM suite, but needs drastic improvement in the GUI, and documentation.

It is possible to perform remote installs of agents if you also use Tivoli remote product. With the current version of ITA (3.0.1) it is possible to remotely update existing agents, but you are correct that there is no ability to remote install a new agent. It would eliminate the need for purchasing a remote product like Tivoli, but we purchased Tivoli for enterprise system monitoring after having installed ITA, so it worked out for us.

We implemented this product and had some concerns...

Originally we had been told that it was possible to do remote installs of agents from the management console, but this was not true. When I submitted a product modification request I received no feedback, but about a month later received a terse "rejected" e-mail. This type of issue makes it nearly impossible to roll-out enterprise-wide...

We are using it in our Unix environment as the NT group is married to the Mission Critical products. However, our implementation will likely remain small as I have been less than impressed with support and customer service.

Mark is too modest.. but I agree with him on the AXENT issue. But for totally different reasons. The biggest decision point that I based my selection on is the ability to purchase a suite of products that work together seamlessly, and provide me with both host based and network based protection. When added to their webnot, policy checker, and Raptor firewall, it puts together that one stop shopping I am looking for and I know that all the time I would have to spend making it all work together is saved. If I have a problem, I call support and they jump right on it.

My only complaint, is the costs involved. But AXENT is moving to solve that issue too, when they release the COBALT box later this year. I don't think it will be too much longer before we see a product hit the market that encompasses all the parts needed in one product. I think the only thing that may be holding them back right now is that the IDS as an industry is in it's infancy, and until it stabilizes and is accepted with the same fervor that firewalls are, it will be sold as a separate product. But, as I said before 2 years ago, with sales comes research, and better products. And with better products, comes more sales... they will catch up... and sooner the better I say. Now if they would just incorporate log analysis like webtrends, and maybe virus scanning.... hmmmm hey let's shoot for the moon.....right?
