Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)

Intrusion detection systems describe a service, technology alone does not fulfil the requirements of the BSI.

With increasing digitalisation, the risks of cyber attacks have also been rising for years. As a result, processes, customer data and company secrets have long been considered critical information. Many companies have recognised this threat and have already invested heavily in expanding their security infrastructure. A regulatory framework is also being created through various legal provisions.

The problem is that it often takes several months before a cyber attack is detected, giving attackers plenty of time to look around the company and steal valuable information or prepare for blackmail through encryption.

An intrusion detection system (IDS) makes it possible to detect a cyber attack early on and initiate an immediate response. The system acts as an alarm unit and, thanks to its holistic approach, the information from all monitored systems is centralised and analysed. This rapid response prevents damage and saves the attacker time. It is not without reason that CRITIS operators were forced to implement an IDS by 1 May 2023. We are happy to support you with a wide range of services relating to this topic.
