Network Perimeter IDS/IPS
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) are a family of security solutions that look for anomalous traffic on the network they are connected to. They employ signature-based scanning with behavioural heuristics to learn your network’s normal traffic patterns and to alert you when rules and thresholds have been broken.
Deploying these systems can be intimidating for a business if network security is not a speciality of the IT team, but it is a requirement of certain critical security standards such as PCI DSS. These systems need careful deployment, configuration and ongoing tuning to avoid swamping teams with false-positives – or allowing attack traffic through.

Often deployed alongside security event management tools to sort and organise alerts and messages from the IDS/IPS devices. activereach provides consultation, design, configuration, deployment and support services to allow a company to benefit from IDS/IPS, remain compliant with PCI DSS and the like – without causing the IT team operational headaches.
