I kept seeing NAI marketing CyberCop intrusion they had bought with Network
General acquisition. Everytime I talked with the NAI salesperson, they said
they had it, but kept telling me they could not currently give me a demo. I
thought they were fixing the security holes reported in the story:

This became very frustrating. This below story gives me some insight into why the 
salesguy keeps misleading me!

But Network Associates' license to WheelGroup's intrusion-detection and
Network-scanning technology has expired, and Cisco
has not renewed it, for reasons Cisco won't discuss. Cisco said Network
Associates can no longer market software based on the
WheelGroup code. Network Associates itself made 1998 acquisitions in
the intrusion detection space and still offers products
there.

This must be the other product in this space: NAI had bought Haystack's
product, Stalker, which they renamed CyberCop server
as well, but the whole Haystack development team (even the Founder) quit when TIS got 
bought by
NAI. What a debacled product!
