How should you secure your network? A large question with no default answer by any means. The proliferation of viruses, Trojans, Denial of Service attacks, buffer overflows, worms, SQL injections, and all their malicious variants leave enterprises relying solely on firewalls as accidents waiting to happen.

Clone Systems, an innovator and leader in network security for more than a decade, includes in its service repertoire a managed Intrusion Detection Service that remotely and transparently monitors all of your network traffic to assure the veracity of your system and each of the files contained on your enterprise. All of this without burdening your data center team with this critical but time-consuming task.

An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is designed to monitor the effectiveness of control systems by monitoring for evidence of attacks. Intrusion detection measures are often necessary to help control the risks associated with common vulnerabilities such as e-mail viruses, infected laptops and any and all types of human factors. To be effectively implemented, an IDS requires disciplined processes and an expert staff, as well as a carefully configured and tuned monitoring procedures. Our company has been providing managed IDS solutions since our inception in 1998, and our industry reputation for managed services and network security solutions is unsurpassed.

Our managed intrusion detection solution directly addresses these fundamental areas of network security management:

Security expertise and experience: Effective intrusion detection requires highly specialized analysis skills and around-the-clock vigilance. Our team of certified network engineers are experts in the arena of Managed IDS.

Continuous vigilance: Our staff is active 24/7 monitoring the events on your network. Their experience and expertise together with our suite of bleeding edge monitoring tools help detect evidence of suspicious activity and filter out false-positive alerts. You will only be notified of verifiable anomalies occurring on your network. That we guarantee.

Detailed reporting: Through Clone Systems’ Security Information Portal (SIP), you will have online access to a range of network intrusion detection and performance evaluation reports. A record of all attack events and their subsequent analysis is automatically posted for your review and to support audit documentation requirements.

Managed IDS Service – Clone Guard^® CG-MIDS

The very nature of a large enterprise makes it remarkably susceptible to intrusions. Its complexity creates a vulnerable target for any committed hacker. CG-MIDS employs aspects of best-of-breed Intrusion Detection Systems and hybrid solutions that address all inbound and outbound network traffic on a packet- by- packet basis. Among the common areas of the enterprise most scrutinized for intrusions are:

• Weak border security, resulting from wrongly configured access control lists.
• Unsecured remote access, from inaccurate configuration of remote access servers, software, and VPN points
• Trusted weakest links, from lack of network access control and split-tunneling
• Overlooked workstations, employing weak passwords, inappropriate privileges, unpatched services, and obsolete end-point protection
• Misconfiguration of publically exposed services can lead directly to denial of service attacks
• Perimeter problems like outdated firewalls, switches, and routers can invite intrusion.

CG-MIDS is truly a unified intrusion awareness and prevention strategy for your network.
