Abstract
A method of managing utilization of network intrusion detection systems in a dynamic data center is provided. A plurality of network intrusion detection systems are provided, each being networked so that utilization of each network intrusion detection system can be based on demand for the network intrusion detection systems in the dynamic data center. A monitoring policy and a plurality of monitoring points to be monitored on a network with any of the network intrusion detection systems are received. Further, the monitoring of the monitoring points is automatically arranged using the network intrusion detection systems and the monitoring policy.
