Regarding your Symantec Client Security comment, just a note that there is no HIDS in that product, its more like a basic signature based IDS at the host level, it does'nt perform any of the advance HIDS functionality that you'd expect from a full HIDS product.

I just recently started a new job as a network security analyst and one of my projects is to implement an intrusion detection system. I've been doing some research and pursuing the listserv archives and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts/opinions. For NIDS's, I've been looking at SourceFire's commercialized version of Snort, CISCO's IDS appliances, and McAffee's IntruShield. For HIDS's, there appears to be three main categories: monitoring the host's file system, the host's network connections, and the host's log files. --Host's file system: I'm looking at Tripwire Manager, Tripwire for Servers, and Tripwire for Network Devices. --Host's network connections: I'm looking for an enterprise-wide solution that we can roll out to all the Windows XP machines and centrally manage. Since we already use Symantec for anti-virus, Symantec's Client Security 2.0 seems to incorporate a centrally managedpersonal firewall, HIDS, and anti-virus capability.--Host's log files: I'm looking at implementing a centralized syslog/syslog-ng server on a Linux box and having all Windows XP boxes and network devices log to it. I'd also stick the data into a MySQL database to allow for easy querying. I'd like to have an analysis program that would take data from the NIDS, HIDS, syslog, and tripwire logs, put it all together, and be able to give me some useful charts and graphical summaries so management can see that their money was well spent in securing the organization's infrastructure. Thanks.
