Intrusion
Detection Systems (IDS) are applications designed
to detect network-based attacks, such a
Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Once an
attack is detected, attack details are logged
and the systems administrator is notified.
Intrusion
Prevention Systems (IPS) are applications designed
to prevent network-based attacks. Once an
IDS has detected an attack, the IPS will take
action to cease the current attack and prevent
future attacks of the same nature. Actions
can include terminating offending connections
and reconfiguring firewalls to intercept the attack.
Hytec
has been planning, implementing and supporting
intrusion detection and prevention systems for
many years. The
experience we have amassed allows us to advise
customers on the most appropriate technology for
their organisation.
