Networks have remained for a long time today and are unquestionably a boon as they have the ability to bring people and the world closer to one another. Along with the networks, the threat of intrusion into these networks evolved as a reality in this digitized world. For homes, as a response to intrusion came the concept of home intrusion detection. 

An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) monitors all incoming as well as outgoing network activity & recognizes intrusion signs in your system that are able to compromise your systems. Its primary role is to raise a caution when it locates any such activity, and consequently, it is termed a passive monitoring system. An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is a step forward of IDS with its capability to catch and detect anomalies and deter such activities on the network of a company.

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) And Their Usefulness

The Intrusion Detection System by us in Palm Beach County Florida can either be:

• Established strategically within the network as a NIDS (network-based intrusion detection), which employs hardware detectors deployed at strategic points on the network of the organization or
• Installed on system computers linked to the network to scrutinize inbound as well as outbound data on the network or
• Lodged on every individual system as a HIDS (host-based intrusion detection)

HIDS holds the privilege of detecting any modifications to or attempts to rewrite system files or any questionable activity stemming from/ within the organization. They employ anomaly or signature-based detection approaches to recognize the threats. Implementing IDS can demonstrate itself to be beneficial for a company as:

• It monitors the functioning of the routers, firewalls, critical servers, and files. It utilizes its comprehensive attack signature database, raises the alarm, and transmits proper notifications on witnessing a breach.
• IDS employs the signature database to ensure speedy and compelling detection of available anomalies with a low threat of raising false alarms.
• It explores various types of attacks, recognizes patterns of malicious content, and enables administrators to tune, manage and enforce adequate controls.
• It allows the enterprise to maintain regulatory compliance as well as fulfill security regulations as it supplies more incredible visibility across the whole network.

Although IDS is generally a compliant system, some active IDS are able to, along with detection & generation of alerts, block IP addresses, or shut down access to limited resources in case an anomaly is detected.

Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) and Their Usefulness

Besides raising the warning, IPS can even configure rules, policies, and mandated actions upon capturing these alarms. It can also be categorized into NIPS (network intrusion prevention system) positioned at distinctive points on the network to scan and protect the network from malicious activity. Another is HIPS (host intrusion prevention system), implemented on individual hosts to scrutinize its activities and take necessary actions to catch anomalous behavior. Employing signature or anomaly-based detection techniques, IPS offered by a surveillance company in Palm Beach County Florida is able to:

• Monitor and assess hazards, witness intruders and take measures in real-time to avert such instances that firewall or antivirus software may skip.
• Thwart DoS/ DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks.
• Maintain the privacy of the users as IPS records the network action only when it sees an activity that matches the list of available malicious activities.
• Prevent attacks on the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol or discourage attempts to discover open ports on distinct hosts.
• Catch and hinder OS fingerprinting attempts that hackers may use to discover the OS of the target system to embark on specific exploits.

An IPS is an operational control mechanism that scrutinizes the network traffic flow. It recognizes and prevents exposure exploits in malicious inputs that intruders utilize to interrupt and acquire control of an application or system.

The Bottom Line!

America's Security & Surveillance offers end-to-end intrusion detection and prevention. With our Home Intrusion detection system, we help homeowners from threats such as robbery, house invasion, etc. Furthermore, we even help businesses such as hotels, restaurants, warehouses, condo complexes, and other commercial properties with our intrusion detectors.
