How to improve your company’s cyber security: SIEM and IDS/IPS

In the digital age, cybersecurity is absolutely crucial for businesses. Ever-evolving cyber threats require sophisticated tools and procedures to protect your data and networks.

In this article, we will discuss how you can improve your company’s cybersecurity using SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and IPS/IDS (Intrusion Prevention System/Intrusion Detection System) solutions.

SIEM is a sophisticated tool that helps you collect, monitor and analyze security events and information in your business. This includes monitoring network activity, detecting and responding to suspicious events. SIEM allows you to gain a comprehensive view of cyber threats and respond quickly.

Fast detection of security incidents

The SIEM system continuously monitors your network and applications to identify unusual activity. When it encounters a potential threat, it immediately triggers an alert and enables a rapid response.

Centralised monitoring

The SIEM aggregates data from various sources such as server logs, firewalls and antivirus programs. This creates an overall view of the security situation within your organisation.

Compliance with regulations

For many businesses, it is essential to comply with regulations and standards such as GDPR or HIPAA. The SIEM system stores important information that is necessary for auditing and certification.

IDS (Intrusion Detection System) and IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) are specialized technologies that focus on detecting and preventing unauthorized access and attacks. IDS monitors and reports suspicious activity on the network, while IPS actively defends against these threats and prevents them from entering the network.

Immediate detection of unusual activity

IDS monitors network traffic and identifies suspicious activity, such as unauthorized access attempts or network attacks. This enables a rapid response to potential threats.

Active protection

IPS has the ability to react to detected threats and block them immediately. This means you can prevent attacks before they cause any damage.

SIEM and IPS/IDS solutions are an integral part of modern cybersecurity. They help companies protect their assets and data from an ever-increasing number of cyber threats. Investing in these tools can protect your business from data loss, financial loss and reputational damage.
