Intrusion Detection
Intrusion detection monitors your network for malicious activity. We can help you identify, implement and monitor intrusion detection systems that prevent unauthorised access to your network.
Intrusion detection for business
Intrusion detection offers an extra layer of protection against cyber threats, allowing for proactive monitoring of your network, so that security breaches can be identified and responded to in real time. We can help you set up and monitor intrusion detection systems that provide comprehensive protection against unauthorised access and malicious activity. Whether you opt for network-based or host-based intrusion detection, we can talk you through the options and help you find a tailored cyber security strategy that gives you the peace of mind that your organisation’s systems are safe.
What is intrusion detection?
Intrusion detection involves the continuous monitoring of network traffic and system activities to identify any signs of unauthorised access, malicious behaviour, or security policy violations. By analysing network packets, logs, and other data sources, intrusion detection systems (IDS) can detect and alert administrators to potential security threats in real time.
Why does my business need intrusion detection?
Cyber attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and relying solely on preventive measures is no longer enough. An intrusion detection system provides an additional layer of defence by proactively monitoring network traffic and system behaviour for signs of malicious activity. By detecting and responding to security incidents in real time, an IDS helps minimise the impact of cyber attacks and reduces the risk of data breaches.
Host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS)
A host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS) is deployed on individual hosts or endpoints within your network. It monitors the activities and events occurring on the host, such as file system changes, login attempts, and process executions, to detect signs of unauthorised access or suspicious behaviour. HIDS solutions offer granular visibility and control, allowing for effective detection and response to threats targeting specific hosts or systems.
Network-based intrusion detection system (NIDS)
A network-based intrusion detection system (NIDS) is deployed at strategic points within your network infrastructure to monitor and analyse network traffic in real time. By examining packet headers and payloads, NIDS solutions can detect and alert administrators to suspicious activity, such as port scans, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, and unauthorised access attempts. NIDS solutions provide comprehensive network visibility, allowing for the early detection and mitigation of potential security threats.
