What is the difference between vulnerability analysis systems and intrusion detection systems?
Vulnerability analysis systems are very similar to intrusion detection systems, as they both look for specific symptoms of intrusions and other security policy violations. However, vulnerability analysis systems take a static view of such symptoms, whereas intrusion detections look at them dynamically. This is the difference between taking a snapshot of an incident versus video taping it.
