Network Intrusion Prevention and Detection Service
Network Intrusion Prevention and Detection is a highly effective layer of security you can implement to protect your organization from unauthorized access. Many devices promise to provide this protection. However, it is difficult for most organizations to respond to alerts, apply continuous updates, hire and train staff, and provide vigilant monitoring 24x7.
Our customers have found it more effective to augment their staff with our team of certified Security Analysts who focus exclusively on security. Our Analysts leverage our industry-leading threat visibility across 2,700 clients around the world to identify and protect your network from emerging threats.
2003: "IDSs [intrusion detection systems] have failed to provide value relative to its costs and will be obsolete by 2005." (Gartner, "Gartner Information Security Hype Cycle Declares Intrusion Detection Systems a Market Failure") 2008: "Our adversaries are very adept at hiding attacks in normal traffic. The only true way to protect our networks is to have an intrusion detection system." (Robert Jamison, Under Secretary of the National Protection and Programs Directorate at DHS) |
