Today, there are three types of intrusion detection and prevention system in existence – first generation commercial IDS systems or IDS/IPS systems built into firewalls, snort, and IDS/IPS systems that combine vulnerability and prevention capability.

Evercom offers Sourcefire IPS systems which combine incident detection with vulnerability and asset management. Correlation of the impact of the incident with awareness of the target system and the source user acts to suppress lower priority activity and ultimately reduce the management work effort.

More importantly, Evercom can design Sourcefire solutions to target risk, rather than simply deploying a capability without correctly designing it taking into consideration the operational, risk management and forensic requirements of the organisation.
