Why you need advanced information security technologies?

Cybersecurity threats have evolved over the years, compelling industries to focus on advanced technologies that are in line with the innovative threat vectors. That said, enterprises are committed towards improving the security posture of their IT systems and in the meanwhile, have to select from a dizzying yet expansive array of compatible technologies. Put simply; businesses require advanced information security technologies for gaining a competitive advantage over the attackers.

Understanding the Functionality of Intrusion Defense Tools

Threat management is probably the most underrated aspect of cybersecurity, but organizations are slowly but steadily realizing the importance of the same. Therefore, security professionals are emphasizing on intrusion defense tools for strengthening their overall security.

IDS and IPS are the existing intrusion defense tools which companies are using extensively as a major part of their advanced security arrangement. IDS or Intrusion Detection System offers preventive security to the IT networks; thereby issuing warnings and detecting unusual traffic surges. Although IDS doesn’t stop an intrusion, it clearly identifies the threats and intimates the security heads regarding the same. An IDS is more of a passive, visibility tool that functions like a protocol analyzer. This technology allows the CISOs and network engineers to look into the security systems for detecting vulnerabilities and threats. Therefore, IDS is a window that allows IT heads to peek into policy violations, information leakage, configuration errors and unauthorized applications.

Intrusion Prevention System or IPS offers access control to select IT networks for safeguarding systems from threats. IPS inspects the attack data and comes forth with a corresponding plan for blocking security incidents and traffic abnormalities. In simple terms, an IPS works more like a typical enterprise firewall that blocks known attacks across networks. This security technology works best when the organization has a specific timeframe between threat detection and patching opportunities. Apart from that IPS also comes forth with myriad data-leak protection and policy enforcement tools followed by anomaly detection features.

IDS or IPS: Which one to opt for?

If visibility is your primary concern, Intrusion Detection System is the more preferred tool. However, organizations that have ample time for looking into the system threats can only benefit from a standalone IDS module. Enterprises with overstressed staff and tighter budget need technologies that have greater capabilities as compared to the IDS. This is where Intrusion Prevention System comes to the fore by offering control over systems and networks.

However, for getting the best out of an IPS, the concerned network must be matched with the applications and system details. Misinterpreted IPS can lead to false positives and block legitimate traffic. That said, an IPS comes with additional defense mechanisms and in-depth analytics concerning network security.

Find the Right Product with Seqrite On-Board

Seqrite comes forth with a more cohesive outlook towards network security by offering UTM as the first line of defense. Better known as the Terminator, this product from Seqrite combines the best attributes of IDS and IPS; thereby creating a holistic security system for the concerned enterprises. The network protection features associated with the Unified Threat Management system include the visibility offered by IDS and control offered by IPS. With the functions combined in the best possible manner, the Terminator is the best threat management solution for businesses. Seqrite combines a powerful attack and malware recognition engine for detecting and blocking threats with additional tools for enhancing network visibility.

Bottom-Line

Advanced information security technologies, including IDS and IPS, scrutinize traffic and system conditions in real-time. Seqrite, however, combines the best of both worlds within its UTM firewall and forestalls catastrophic DDoS and DoS threats, way before the occurrence.
