Network Hardening
& Intrusion Detection

Network Harding Services

Here's an overview of the main components and tools utilized by Preactive IT Solutions:

Firewalls:

• Hardware Firewalls: Physical devices adept at filtering traffic between networks.
• Software Firewalls: Applications or programs that intelligently manage and control network traffic on individual hosts.

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS):

• Network-based IDS (NIDS): Vigilant monitoring and analysis of network traffic to identify suspicious activities and known threats.
• Host-based IDS (HIDS): Monitoring activities on individual devices such as servers or endpoints to detect signs of malicious behavior.

Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS):

• Network-based IPS (NIPS): Similar to NIDS but with the ability to proactively prevent or block malicious traffic.
• Host-based IPS (HIPS): An additional layer of protection for individual devices by actively preventing intrusions.

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM):

• Aggregation and analysis of log data from diverse sources to identify and respond to security events effectively.

Endpoint Protection:

• Utilization of anti-virus software, anti-malware solutions, and endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools to safeguard individual devices.

Network Behavior Analysis (NBA):

• Examination of network traffic patterns and behaviors to promptly identify abnormal or suspicious activities.

Vulnerability Scanning:

• Identification and assessment of vulnerabilities in systems and applications to proactively address potential weaknesses.

Penetration Testing:

• Ethical hacking practices to systematically identify and exploit vulnerabilities within a controlled environment.

Threat Intelligence:

• Incorporation of up-to-date information on current threats and vulnerabilities to enhance overall detection capabilities.

Incident Response and Forensic Tools:

• Tools specifically designed for investigating and responding to security incidents.

User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA):

• Analysis of user behavior to promptly detect anomalies that may indicate a security threat.

Security Auditing and Compliance Tools:

• Implementation of tools to ensure that systems and processes comply with industry standards and regulations.

Security Policies and Procedures:

• Establishment of clear guidelines and protocols for responding to security incidents.

Continuous Monitoring Solutions:

• Real-time monitoring of networks, systems, and applications to promptly address emerging threats.

Encryption Tools:

• Implementation of robust encryption solutions to secure data both in transit and at rest, protecting against unauthorized access.
