Setting up your own IDS can be a very expensive proposition. For an
organization your size, it might be more economical to outsource your
network monitoring. Here is one company that can do this:

There may be others.

Subject: Staffing an Intrusion Detection Capability?

My company (an organization of approximately 3000
people in the financial industry and which is doing an
increasing amount of business on the Internet) is
currently putting together a plan for an intrusion
detection and incident response capability.

I am curious to hear what other organizations of a
similar size are doing regarding staffing such a
capability.

Does your organization have a dedicated ID staff?

If so, how large is this staff? If not, where do you
draw the staff from?

What skills do you look for in ID staff?

Is the ID staff integrated with the incident response
staff?

If anyone has a job description for members of such
a staff that they would be willing to post, that would be
great.

I look forward to some interesting discussion on this
topic!
