With intrusion detection technology, your company has a much better chance of detecting and analyzing an intrusion. Your staff will be able to respond quickly and effectively to the intrusion because they will be able to determine what happened and which systems were affected. Without intrusion detection and analysis, when your company is attacked, it may get back online, but it could be vulnerable to further attacks. Without intrusion detection, you are flying blind. You will miss opportunities to prevent intrusions and have little or no information to analyze when an intrusion does occur.
Skilled attackers are very effective in hiding their tracks.
They will erase logs and take other measures that will make it nearly impossible to determine the true extent of their activities. But if an intrusion detection system is quietly recording the activities on your network, you will have a history from which you can begin to reconstruct the attacker's activities. The methodology for an intrusion detection engagement depends on whether or not the client currently has an intrusion detection system. If the client has not implemented a full intrusion detection system, Crucial Security can examine current IDS tools and train your staff to use them more effectively. We will help your staff install and configure intrusion detection systems so that your security team or an outsourced monitoring service will be able to effectively watch your network and react quickly when an intrusion does occur.
