Intrusion Detection

Firewalls and VPNs are an excellent foundation, but alone they fall short of a complete security solution. System exploits are growing increasingly more sophisticated, and so are the hackers that are uncovering them. Implementing an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can prove to be one of the most effective tools in your arsenal for overall network security.

IDS appliances are designed to monitor traffic on a particular network segment, and respond when an attack is detected. Similar to the FBI’s most wanted list, these systems maintain a database of up-to-date attack signatures, comparing them with real-time network events to determine when an attack is in progress.

IDS solutions can give you invaluable insight on the effectiveness of your current Security Policy.
