Abstract
This research service will analyze the World Intrusion Detection System (IDS)
and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) markets, using 2006 as a base year. This
research will be segmented by network intrusion detection/prevention systems
(NIDS) and host-based intrusion detection/prevention systems (HIDS).
Throughout the text, distinctions between the technologies will be made where
appropriate, however, the market is generally referred to in total as the
IDS/IPS market, or the intrusion market. While the features, price, and market
contribution from management consoles are discussed separately in the study,
the revenue contribution from these consoles has been bundled into the value
of the sensors or agents.
