Don't forget to check out where industry is on all of this. For example
the security information management market is something to look into.
There we have been doing the "vulnerability-IDS" feed correlation for a
long time.
Also the automated procedures for active response is something that is
used in production to date. [Let's not get into a discussion whether
that's smart or not. There are cases where it absolutely is!]
