ISC Answers the "What" and "Why" Questions about Intrusion Prevention Services (IPS) for Small and Medium Sized Businesses
(PRWeb) February 4, 2007 -- While some of this intrusion might be from disgruntled employees, the vast majority is being done by hackers using random algorithms to shotgun the internet with numeric combinations in the hopes of pinging a live address. These programs create millions of random combinations of numeric addresses in the hopes that they will be able to penetrate an open portal on a firewall.
Many companies mistakenly believe that implementing a firewall will protect them and the corporate data from hacking threats. Good in theory…. But it doesn't work that way. The reason why is that in order to allow corporate communication, data or emails, to leave the corporate Intranet and move into the Internet, a window must be opened in a secure firewall. Think of building a secure wall around a fortress, but then creating an open door from which to leave. And once that portal or door is opened, not only can communications leave, but hackers can come into a company's Intranet.
So, in other words, corporate data is only as secure as the weakest link, and in this case it's an open portal. Maybe the president of the company is reading this and has placed a call to the IT department to check this out. Now that there has been established a potential security problem, what can be done to resolve it?
Intrusion Prevention Services (IPS) resides in front of the firewall, thus preventing hackers from getting through the firewall and finding that open portal. The real issue is why Intrusion Prevention Services are needed.
Intrusion Protection Systems have become a critical factor in the security of company data and communication capability. It is such a critical issue that breaches in data integrity can negatively impact the viability of a company. IPS systems allow companies to benefit from the positive advances in the Internet while negating the negative aspect of network intrusion.
