Re: [IDS] IDS Common Criteria

Sadly within the public sector installing an IDS isn't merely a question of having sufficient resources to achieve the objective, there are also a plethora of political and accreditation issues to overcome. CC can help to surmount many of the bureaucratic mountains that lie in the way. I don't agree with it, but it's a fact of life, I can't see another way until common sense prevails. Unfortunately public sector and common sense rarely walk hand in hand.

just my 2c

take care
