Cymtec Scout Next Generation IDS: Unique Cloud Architecture

The IDS Compliance Challenge:

The goal of intrusion detection is to monitor network assets to detect anomalous behavior and misuse. IDS has rapidly developed as one of the IT’s additional responsibilities.  Highly driven by industry compliance standard requirements (PCI-DSS, SOX, HIPAA, GLBA) or by customer compliance demands. Most enterprises are bound by the same compliance mandates as large enterprises but don’t have the IT-Security Staff or budgets to become and maintain IDS compliant.

DIY Patchwork IDS Misses the Mark:

Traditional IDS systems, often build as Do-It-Yourself (DIY) patchworks boxes, do not scale with the emerging customer security requirements. The maintenance of these archaic systems require significant expertise and time that enterprises IT-teams simply do not have.

Enterprise Firewalls and IPS Systems are Complex:

Next Generation enterprise firewalls or dedicated complex IPS systems can provide IDS options or modules. But these functions are typically buried in an overload of menu’s and hard to find management screens. The result is that the IDS functions of these systems are not updated with the latest threat signatures and create compliance vulnerability nightmares.
