There's probably two reasons why nobody wants to buy HIDS...<br>First, which especially applies to Blink (made by eEye), it's<br>because it's unusable... I turned it off and uninstalled it<br>after using it for just a few minutes. Second, companies
<br>rely on their significant investements in firewalls, IPSes,<br>application proxies, etc and they feel that they are protected<br>enough (I'm not saying that they are correct in their assumptions,<br>but that's what they usually think :-) ).
<br><br>Companies do, however, buy other types of host-based<br>"risk management systems" that try to protect their IP,<br>sensitive information, etc, which also helps them with compliance<br>(SOX,HIPAA,PCI,etc).

A HIDS shakeup? Sana takes in more money and Ross Brown gets fired from eEye's CEO all in the same day? I never can get anyone to buy HIDS. We often recommend it in our reports, but no company ever bites the bullet and does it. Perhaps when they think HIDS they think this:

I guess that's the sort of thing you can do when you are a sponsor for GRSecurity.
