Defending Networks With Intrusion Detection Systems
Overview An early-warning system that alerts IT organizations to the presence of intruders can help prevent security breaches on the corporate network and help protect servers from being compromised. To help minimize unauthorized access attempts from both inside and outside the enterprise firewall, administrators can install an intrusion detection system (IDS) - which essentially acts as a network surveillance "camera." This paper explores how administrators can thwart break-in attempts using an IDS, such as the Sourcefire Snort product, and Dell PowerConnect Ethernet switches with port mirroring enabled.
