Description |
---|
Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) devices should be deployed at strategic locations within the network. At a minimum, they should be deployed within the DMZ and behind the network device. It is important to not only monitor traffic entering the enclave but also leaving. Placing an IDS behind the network device will provide a clear analysis of what type of traffic and potential attacks are passing through the network device. Monitoring outbound traffic enables the network operator to detect an attack towards another network with the local enclave as the base. When a compromise or potential compromise is detected by the IDS or IPS, it is critical the appropriate personnel are notified via an alert mechanism. The intrusion detection device must be configured to ensure non-privileged users are not able to circumvent the detection or alerting mechanisms. This control applies to monitoring by intrusion detection systems and is not applicable to network device management. |
