It’s always nice to know when hostile packets zoom through your network. Enter the IDS, or Intrusion Detection System. The chief function of the IDS is to listen on a specified network interface and generate alerts based on the type of traffic rolling through that monitored interface. Our Network Security experts can design a whole range of IDS systems, from single-agent-outside-perimeter-warning systems to multiple-agent systems with IDS deployments all around the network. Most of our clients are satisfied with a single IDS agent set up at the entry pointx into their Local Area Network. This sort of configuration, presented below, allows for detection of any suspicious activity either originating from or heading towards the Internet.

Our more "paranoid" clients, however, utilize multi-agent systems, which in addition to scanning the outside net also scan the inside net for any possible internal foul play. A diagram of an extreme case scenario is presented below.
