Network Security White Papers

Cisco IDS Solution

Overview Port scans and denial-of-service attacks are an ongoing threat, and a firewall cannot protect against them. However, intrusion detection and protection tools are critical components of a defense-in-depth security solution that can identify potential threats and allow a company to take immediate action to block a hacker or a particular IP address that's being used to launch an assault. By developing an appropriate security policy backed by industry-leading Cisco solutions, companies can confidently deploy their network solutions and reap the benefits that the Internet offers.
