Application Security
IPS specializes in delivering world-class security solutions to the SMB space. Our services provide a cost-effective answer to the ever-evolving world of cyber threats.
IPS security monitoring is an automated process that helps organizations identify cyber threats through continuous and rigorous observation of network traffic, endpoint behavior, servers, logs, and more. When suspicious activity is detected, IPS monitoring tools alert the IT team, prompting an immediate response. This proactive approach ensures that cyber-attacks are stopped and mitigated before any damage can occur.
To effectively monitor and protect IT infrastructure against cyber attacks, several key components must be safeguarded. Here’s a comprehensive overview of the IT infrastructure elements that should be monitored and protected:
Network Infrastructure
- VPN
- ISP
- Firewalls
- Routers and Switches
- Network Traffic
Servers and Endpoints
- Operating Systems
- Application Servers
- Workstations and Laptops
- Mobile Devices
Cloud Infrastructure
- Cloud Access Controls
- Virtual Machines
- Cloud Storage
Applications and Databases
- Web Applications
- Databases
- APIs
Identity and Access Management
- User Accounts
- Authentication Systems
- Privilege Management
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)
- Log Management
- Event Correlation
- DNS
Backup and Recovery
- Backup Systems
- Disaster Recovery Plans
1. Endpoint Monitoring
Cybersecurity monitoring employs real-time response to help organizations identify threats more swiftly and effectively.
These threats often stem from active cyber-attacks or vulnerabilities within the system. To address these challenges, cybersecurity monitoring relies on two main categories: endpoint monitoring and network monitoring.
- Malware Activity: Detecting and analyzing suspicious software.
- System Behavior: Monitoring unusual or unauthorized changes.
- File Integrity: Checking for unauthorized modifications or deletions of critical system and application files.
- System Behavior: Monitoring unusual or unauthorized changes.
- Event Logs: Collecting and analyzing logs from endpoints to identify and investigate security incidents or policy violations.
- Security Updates: Ensuring that endpoints are up-to-date with the latest security patches and updates.
- Configuration Changes: Monitoring changes in system configurations or security settings to identify potential security risks or misconfigurations.
- Access Permissions: Monitoring changes in system configurations or security settings to identify potential security risks or misconfigurations.
- User Activity: Tracking user actions, including login attempts, access to sensitive data, and usage patterns, to identify potential insider threats or compromised accounts.
2. Network Monitoring
Similarly, network monitoring involves the supervision, tracking, and analysis of an entire network to prevent cyber threats.
Networks can have flawed components that lead to performance issues—such as slow webpage loading or site crashes—that might indicate underlying vulnerabilities. Network monitoring addresses these challenges by continuously observing network traffic, activity logs, and more.
Examples of network monitoring tools include SIEM systems, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), and Behavioral Analytics (BA) systems. The combination of endpoint and network monitoring forms the foundation of effective cybersecurity services. Now, let’s explore why these observational tools are crucial for organizations.
Inbound Monitoring:
- Traffic Analysis: Monitoring unusual or unauthorized changes.
- Intrusion Detection: Monitoring for signs of unauthorized access attempts or breaches from external sources.
- Intrusion Detection: Monitoring for signs of unauthorized access attempts or breaches from external sources.
- Firewall Logs: Monitoring for signs of unauthorized access attempts or breaches from external sources.
- Malware Detection: Identifying malicious payloads or suspicious files entering the network through various protocols.
- IP Reputation: Checking incoming IP addresses against known threat databases to identify potentially harmful sources.
Outbound Monitoring:
- Traffic Analysis: Analyzing outgoing traffic for unusual patterns or data exfiltration attempts.
- Data Leakage: Monitoring for unauthorized transmission of sensitive information or large volumes of data to external destinations.
- Connection Monitoring: Tracking connections to external servers or IP addresses to detect potential command-and-control communications or other threats.
- Firewall Logs: Reviewing logs for outgoing traffic to ensure that communications are legitimate and comply with security policies.
- Application Behavior: Observing the behavior of applications and services to detect unauthorized or anomalous data transmissions.
