Review: StillSecure StrataGuard Free

As its name implies, this is a free version of the StillSecure StrataGuard intrusion detection system (IDS) and intrusion prevention system (IPS) products. The software lacks some features present in the commercial versions, such as automatic rule updating and individual device protection, but none of these limitations need be a problem for its target audience, the small business and individual user.

Zen and the art of intrusion detection

Zen and the art of intrusion detection

If a tree falls in a forest with no-one to hear it, does it make a sound? So goes a typical zen-like philosophical question. While it’s thought-provoking, what does it have to do with Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)?

Why should anti-virus products employ heuristic detection?

Why should anti-virus products employ heuristic detection?

Once upon a time, in a galaxy not so far away, there were only a few computer viruses. Little more than a curiosity to most, they were relatively rare, slow spreading and in general, more of a mythological threat than a real one. The initial anti-virus products that were created to deal with these were perfectly adequate; updated once a month or so, the customers could be fairly sure that they would be protected. Fast-forward to today’s interconnected and always-on world, and the scale of the problem is orders of magnitude above where it was back in those early days.

Intrusion Prevention and Detection: Are They Just Missing the Point?

Organizations know they must protect themselves from the mysterious enemy that is a ‘hacker’ and viruses such as LoveLetter, but often there is a misguided belief that these external threats are the main risks to businesses.

Review: eTrust Intrusion Detection

Review: eTrust Intrusion Detection

This solution provides a network-based IDS, real-time session monitoring and internet/email content blocking. eTrust Intrusion Detection can be installed in standalone mode, or it can be distributed on separate machines. The intrusion detection program installs as a service under Windows NT/2000. As usual, the monitoring interface is a NIC in promiscuous mode, and therefore the presence of the IDS is concealed from the attacker.
