1. Part 1: Using the internet, search for commercial IDPS systems.
What classification systems and descriptions are used and how
can these be used to compare the features and components of
each IDPS? Create a comparison spreadsheet identifying the
classification systems you find.
Part 2: What are some of the legal and ethical issues
surrounding the use of intrusion detection systems logs and
other technology tools as evidence in criminal and legal
matters?
Part 3: Write a 2 - 3 page APA style paper summarizing the
