Intrusion Detection Management Service (IDS)

Designing and implementing a corporate security architecture that includes proactive intrusion detection architecture is the first step in ensuring the security of an organisation's critical assets. While many organisations deploy firewalls as central gatekeepers to prevent unauthorised access, a firewall by itself is insufficient for complete protection of networks and servers. A layered defence provides the best result.

By intelligently placing intrusion detection sensors on a network, VeriSign's team of security experts can manage a customer's devices around-the-clock, monitoring for security violations or misuse that originates from inside or outside the network. VeriSign's Intrusion Detection Management Service (IDMS) enhances an organisation's firewall protection. To prevent costly downtime and potential loss of revenue, IDMS provides a comprehensive, real-time warning system that proactively identifies and isolates real security attacks.

VeriSign's Managed IDS offers 24x7 monitoring of all network traffic. The service acts as an alarm for an organisation's network, setting off necessary alerts when a potential attack is recognised. These alerts, based on the specific customer requirements, are actively monitored and managed by VeriSign certified security engineers at the company's Security Operations Centres (SOC) and real security events are quickly identified and acted upon. All intrusion attempts, regardless of severity, are logged and well-defined customer notification and resolution procedures are executed for all security events.
