Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
detecting an update or a modification to an applied ruleset, wherein
the applied ruleset is intended for consumption by one or more intrusion detection systems (IDSs);

triggering an event that is configured to push the applied ruleset to a set of test network sensors of a plurality of network sensors associated with the IDSs, wherein
a service subscribed to the event updates the set of test network sensors with the applied ruleset and designates a configuration version to the applied ruleset;

receiving a notification from the set of test network sensors that the applied ruleset has been tested and is ready for deployment to the plurality of network sensors;
receiving a request to deploy the applied ruleset to a set of network sensors of the plurality of network sensors;
determining whether the request comprises the configuration version designated to the applied ruleset by the service; and
authorizing the request to deploy the applied ruleset to the set of network sensors if the request comprises the configuration version designated to the applied ruleset, or denying the request to deploy the applied ruleset to the set of network sensors if the request does not comprise the configuration version designated to the applied ruleset.
