Intrusion Detection and Prevention
Helping our clients establish a comprehensive security policy that includes an Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) to protect mission-critical operations, applications, and data.
Intrusion detection and prevention are broad terms describing network and application security practices used to mitigate current attacks and to block future attacks. Cyber attacks can originate from anywhere, including individual bad actors, internal and external threats, major corporations, and governments. An intrusion nearly always compromises network or data security and can be costly for the victim organization.
Intrusion Detection and Prevention: Two Sides of the Same Coin
Intrusion detection is a reactive measure that identifies and mitigates ongoing attacks by weeding out exploits that target potentially vulnerable systems. Intrusion prevention is a proactive measure that preemptively blocks attacks. This includes remote file inclusions that facilitate malware injections as well as SQL injections used to access databases.
