Summary: Great IDS book for experts and beginners
Comment: This book is comprehensive and very readable. The information is excellent. Mr. Proctor's experience helps show how intrusion detection systems are used in real life through a lot of examples. My company implemented network-based IDS last year and this book really helped us understand host-based IDS. In fact it's the only book I've read on IDS that pays any significant attention to host-based IDS.
On the down side there are a few typos and the product section is a dated because several of the products mentioned have been acquired by other companies but this didn't take away from the really useful information.
I've read the other books on intrusion detection and if you've got Northcutt's book and this one you'll have all the information you need.

Summary: Hidden product advertisement
Comment: In general, Mr. Proctor`s book is well done. Unfortunately, the autor uses many definitions which are not primarily used among ID specialists. These definitions are straight from the handbooks of Cybersafe Centrax, an IDS developed by the author (e.g. Network Node Intrusion Detection; the unique definitions of realtime/batched modes...). Additionally, Mr. Proctors seems to believe that only commercial IDSs are worthy of the professionel ID analyst. He wrongly describes Snort, an OpenSource NIDS published under GPL, as shareware and mentiones it very briefly in 3 sentences. Currently, 80-90% of all detects published on lists like Incidents are detected by Snort sensors ! Since Centrax is a first rate HIDS and only a second rate NIDS, the autor seems to be a very strong supporter of HIDS. This shows clearly through the whole book. The book gives a good overview over todays ID techniques combined with excellent examples. If Mr. Proctor had desisted from placing more or less hidden product advertisement in his book he would have done all readers a big favor.

Summary: comprehensive and readable
Comment: The Practical Intrusion Detection Handbook offers a highly readable and comprehensive presentation of intrusion detection.
Security is a holistic endeavor, requiring coordination of many different components, including technology, policy, practice, behavior, and so on. This trait of security makes the topic hard to grasp, and even harder to explain to non-experts, most of whom think of security as being conferred by a single object, whether a firewall, security policy, or chief security officer. The most impressive accomplishment of this book is that helps the reader apprehend all the different aspects of intrusion detection and how they interrelate.
The book helped me organize my own thinking about intrusion detection, providing not only an overview of approaches and technologies, but presenting the organizational, operational, policy, and financial aspects of intrusion detection.
The book is an excellent complement to other books on intrusion detection, such as Network Intrusion Detection: An Analyst's Handbook by Stephen Northcutt, and Intrusion Detection by Rebecca Gurley Bace.
