An intrusion detection system (IDS) can protect your dedicated solution as well as aide in policy and regulation compliance. Hosting.comhas teamed with Alert Logic to offer an on-demand IDS platform that utilizes software-as-a-service to deliver the benefits of rapid deployment and zero maintenance to your business. There are two services available; Threat Manager and Log Manager. Each service provides many protection benefits on its own, yet together, these services give you a powerful IDS solution.
Threat Manager
Threat Manager is designed to give your business an additional layer of defense against threats that bypass network perimeter defenses such as firewalls and anti-virus. This protection guards your internal network and server from viruses, worms, and other threats brought in by VPN connections, partner portals, and other supposedly trusted sources.
With both IDS and vulnerability management technology, Threat Manager offers proactive and reactive protection from the latest threats. Additionally, false alarms typically associated with IDS technology are eliminated from Threat Manager's on-demand architecture. When alarms are triggered, Threat Manager sends an alert directly into Alert Logic's centralized expert system. This system correlates the IDS alert data with vulnerability data and real-time threat trend information to identify only valid security incidents that threaten your network.
