Security Systems - IDS Installation

 

IDS or Intrusion Detection System looks at all the traffic on your network, everything going in and coming out. By doing so, the IDS is able to pick out patterns that are suspicious and in this way potentially identify attacks by outside or even inside sources that are attempting to break into or expose your system.

An IDS is different from a Firewall in that it offers insight into where attacks are taking place and allows you to fix the problem. A Firewall is meant to filter traffic, but will not look inside the data packets going in or out.  IDS technologies are usually divided into Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) and Host Intrusion Detection Systems (HIDS).

An IDS Installation is a key component of your overall security strategy.  Call us anytime to conduct a full review of your security configuration and offer key recommendations to best protect your network.
