The power of the people in security
Most of you know my affinity with community based technology to solve complicated, distributed problems. Like Cloudmark for spam filtering. Well, take that concept into intrusions and you get myNetWatchman - Network Intrusion Detection and Reporting. Basically this is a community based IDS service. You sign up and contribute your firewall logs to the community. The central database tries to do a good job of filtering out false positives and tracking trends across the net. When something real is found, they go into pro-active mode with their customers (ISPs). I have seen a number of security consoles for the enterprise that do this for one organization, but this is the first community based one. I am sure there are more.
