Main solutions of intrusion detection systems

Faced with an increasing number and increasing complexity of alert escalations, security and network administrators need to receive structured and organized information.

Similarly, when they deploy a solution or hardware for detection (IDS) or intrusion prevention (IPS), a centralized administration console is essential for them, whether for one or more strategic servers - solutions called " Host IDS ”- or for the entire corporate network -“ Network IDS ”solutions.

Functioning as anti-virus or anti-spam solutions, IDS refer to a database of known attack signatures. But in order to give their solution more responsiveness when an attack arises, some publishers have decided to transform their offer into IPS (Intrusion Prevention System), focusing their technology on proactive prevention, capable of reacting in real time when a anomaly is detected or an intrusion is proven.
