Learning More about IPS and IDS
Introduction
Security is mostly about the rules and policies that are implemented in security devices of the organization. Therefore, to secure the assets of their organization, organizations employees use some end-devices such as firewall, IPS, SIEM and many more. These end-devices come under the endpoint security domain. Therefore, it protects the network or system from the attackers. Every device has its own specifications on where to use and from which type of threat they will protect the organization. A Single device is not able to protect the whole organization due to this most organizations use combinations of them or some can use UTMs (unified threat management) which are all in one solution. So in today’s blog we will learn all about those devices, how they work .
Why are the protections being used by the websites?
To keep websites safe from various levels of threats and vulnerabilities, it is vital to incorporate additional protective measures into their design. Because the website serves as the public face of the company and serves as a repository for a wide range of information, it is vital to implement security measures that can mitigate a small number of low-level attacks. In order for legitimate users to be able to use the website without worry and in an unencumbered manner. To provide the security or protect the content of a website is a complex task and it can be done by different things such as pentesting the website or deploying some of the basic countermeasures such as IPS/IDS etc.
What is an Intrusion Detection system (IDS) / Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)?
IDS (Intrusion Detection System)
It is used to monitor the events in your network and then analyze them on the basis of rules, policies. These rules and policies are created by the admins who basically analyze different types of logs and attack vectors to identify a couple of different parameters that might be used to carry out the attack, what are major threats, what are mostly misused ports and many more. These are basic criteria for the creation of rules and detect the unwanted traffic on that…
