Prevention & Detection

Intrusion detection, vulnerabilities, incident response.

Intrusion detection, or simply put ID, is another type of security management of your IT systems. It includes gathering and analyzing information from various areas within your network infrastructure with the purpose to identify possible security breaches.

These security breaches may be different but the most typical of them are intrusions (outside attacks) and misuse (inside attacks).

ID uses variety of tools and measures to minimize the risks of both types of security breaches. They are: intrusion detection, vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, IT security expert training and so on.

CISS experts will identify vulnerabilities that may exist in IT systems of your organization that may have found their way through misconfiguration or poor security practice.

As part of its service CISS provides an in-depth assessment of the effectiveness of the existing security controls through performing network tests of key systems and segments.

Another part of vulnerability testing are stress tests in which our security engineers will work to attempt to penetrate the target IT systems to identify potential vulnerabilities areas for improvement .

Intrusion detection is done by analyzing IDS logs as the commonly have traces and intrusion. Apart from establishing the fact of intrusion log analysis also helps establish source of intrusion as well as identify areas that were affected by the intrusion.

Intrusion detection and analysis of the associated security logs can be a daunting task. It often requires specialised tools or expertise to synthesise and interpret the information to identify false alarms, attacks, or network events and to implement strategies to eliminate or minimise such events.

That is why some organisations hire professionals for this type of activity.
