  Intrusion Detection & Prevention Solutions (IDS/IPS)  
     
  When considering an intrusion detection or intrusion prevention system (IDS/IPS), the most important thing to recognize is that successful design, deployment, and management of an IDS/IPS solution is more than just an investment in technology. As with many aspects of information security, a combination of product, people, and process will be required to execute the following areas:  
     
 
  Monitor networks & systems for evidence of an attack that’s either underway or in
    preparation
     
  Create and maintain intrusion detection policies, and readily & rapidly deploy these across
    local and remote networks
     
  Analyze, consolidate and correlate data from a wide range of different sources such as
    network and host detectors, system events, and error logs
 
     
 
     
  Effective IDS/IPS management is not just a product or service – it’s a process. And a proactive one as well. Ongoing management, maintenance and tuning are central to achieving the proposed benefits from an IDS/IPS solution. This why at Circulent™ we continuously work with our customers to understand their networks and traffic patterns so we can prevent issues from occurring either before they initiate, or immediately when they are detected. Quickly, seamlessly, and efficiently.  
     
 
     
  From our experience, when implementing an effective intrusion detection and prevention solution your business should always consider the following:  
     
 
  Performance considerations for network and host based detection
  Scalability of intrusion detection solutions
  Deployment and integration of different products
  Tuning and optimization of sensors
  Integration with incident handling strategies

What is Spyware?

Spyware is considered a malicious program and is installed without the users aware of the fact. A common way to become a victim of spyware is to download certain peer-to-peer file swapping products available today.

Spyware works like adware but is usually a separate program that is installed unknowingly when you install another freeware type program or application. Once installed, the spyware monitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that information in the background to someone else. Spyware can also gather information about e-mail addresses and even passwords and credit card numbers.

Because spyware exists as independent executable programs, they have the capability to monitor your keystrokes, scan files on the hard drive, snoop other applications, such as chat programs or word processors, install other spyware programs, read cookies, change the default home page on the Web browser, while consistently relaying this information back to the spyware author who will either use it for advertising and marketing purposes or sell the information to another party.
