Intrusion Detection Systems

One of the most important aspects of a successful business is the protection and integrity of its data. This could be anything including but not limited to patient records, blueprints, and customer's personal/financial information. This is what modern cybercriminals and hackers are after. If compromised, this information can cause serious problems for the company and its customers alike.

Never underestimate the importance of network security. There are many ways to secure a network from hacking and penetration attempts. The most common and often the first line of defense is the firewall. What happens if a hacker is able to bypass it? The network administrator will need to know in order to take the proper actions to seal off the company's data. This is where an Intrusion Detection System comes in.
 
Intrusion Detection Systems or IDS systems are developed to scan the network and identify possible malicious activity. They look for unauthorized access, policy violations, and attempted access to the network. The IDS system will then either trigger an alarm or log the event, notifying the administrator of the occurrence. Once the threat has been identified, the issue can then be researched, addressed and taken care of before any information has been disclosed.

In today’s technological age, and with the prevalence of cybercrime, network security has become just another part of responsibly running a successful business. TechFarmer has many different applications and methods in which to implement strong security measures for your business.
