Intrusion Detection & Prevention

With attacks on networks increasing in both number and sophistication every year, increasingly stringent measures are demanded to ensure that confidential resources and information do not fall into the wrong hands.  Virus signatures provide one way of addressing the issue but the management burden this incurs can quickly become cumbersome and out-of-date.

Having an adequate Intrusion Detection System (IDS) in place plays a key role in your security and defence strategy.  Through a central management platform, IDS facilitates the identification of suspicious activity, records the details for future reference, can carry out preventative measures and provides reports to key stakeholders.  Furthermore, Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) actively prevent host and network attacks whilst they are in progress.

Protect your resources:  Monitors unusual and malicious behaviour on the network.  Detects and remediates against activities which pose a threat to your security.  Allows you to put in force policies which prevent future attacks of the same nature.

Increase visibility:  Allows you to see what’s happening on the network both at the network and application levels.  Enables you to quickly identify unusual behaviour.  Can also be used to analyse individual incidents.

Gain control:  Allows you to update your security policy quickly and easily.  Provides updates on activity and any action taken against potential threats.  Provides central management and reporting.

Respond quickly to attack:  Rapidly identifies and responds to unauthorised behaviour on your network.

Save time:  Addresses downtime and productivity issues before they even happen.  Contributes to a better Quality of Service (QoS).  Reduces the support team’s workload as fewer security breaches occur.  Mitigates requirement to deploy patch releases immediately, allowing time for testing.

Avoid loss of data:  Proactively prevents data loss, stopping would-be perpetrators at point of entry.

Compliance:  Can contribute to a compliant security posture.

Save money:  Running a solution is typically far less expensive than dealing with security breach.  Reduces costs associated with fixing affected devices following a security breach.
