It may not be of interest to any here but Endace does have a lead on all others in its field.
The UK Government has just announced its desire to have better checks .
Neil Livingston, Chief Product Officer of Endace, said,
"Only last week in its new national security strategy, the UK government cited
attacks on computer networks as being among the biggest emerging threats to the
UK. When national security is at stake and the impact of missing a single packet
can be catastrophic, nothing less than guaranteed 100% packet capture can be
accepted."

This is part of a release this morning from Endace.
Endace (LSE: EDA), today announced the results of its performance in the unsponsored and
independent NSS Labs Group Test of IDS/IPS products. The results confirm that
the EndaceProbe Core100 (EP Core100) is world leading and capable of
continuously capturing and analysing every packet up to 10 Gbps, making it the
natural choice for monitoring high-speed critical infrastructure environments.

Vik Phatak, NSS Labs' CTO, said,
"Even under the harshest conditions, at full 10-Gigabit capacity with 1.7KB HTTP
response traffic, we could not force the EP Core100 to leak attacks. Further,
the system correctly identified 100% of our evasion attempts without error. It
is one of the few products on the market capable of servicing the high
throughput demands of a true 10-Gigabit environment.".

Interesting times ahead.
