Solutions: Information Security: Intrusion Detection and Intrusion Prevention

Today many organizations rely simply upon firewalls or anti-virus software as a means of securing their infrastructure against malicious attacks. The problem is that these are static measures that do not offer IT managers an accurate assessment of the risks they face. Most information security officers rarely have the time to review firewall log files or be completely up to date with anti-virus software patches and new attacks that are not prevented by simple software packages.

With the advent of intrusion detection systems, information security managers are able to monitor network flows and data continuously and can utilize this data to predict threats that are known as well as unknown. Through signature based and anomaly detection analysis this information allows for a more proactive approach to information security.

Intrusion Prevention takes the IDS system one step farther by creating automated preventative measures against threats based on the data that is received. Intrusion Prevention Systems can gather evidence of an attacker's activity, remove the attacker's access to the network and reconfigure the network to resist the attacker's penetration technique.
