IDS for Security Analysts: How to Get Actionable Insights from your IDS
The document discusses best practices for intrusion detection systems (IDS). It recommends a three phase process: collection, evaluation, and tuning. In the collection phase, an IDS gathers baseline data for 2 weeks. In evaluation, valuable and actionable events are identified based on policy, risk, and environment. Trending helps eliminate normal activity. Tuning removes unnecessary events to reduce false positives and save time through threshold adjusting and awareness of network details. Updates may require periodic re-evaluation and tuning to account for changes.

Gain Visibility & Control of IT Assets in a Perimeterless World
In today’s perimeterless world, enterprise security teams are challenged with maintaining visibility and control over the exploding number of assets on their networks.
The IT assets that pose the greatest risk to your organization’s security are the ones you don’t know are there. Without knowledge of which software and devices exist in your network — whether on-premises, on endpoints, or in elastic clouds — InfoSec professionals are unable to enact proper security and protection.
During this webcast, Jimmy Graham, Director of Product Management for Qualys AssetView and Darron Gibbard, Chief Technical Security Officer for Qualys EMEA, cover the six key elements of an ideal cloud-based IT asset inventory system:
1. Complete visibility of your IT environment
2. Deep visibility into assets
3. Continuous and automatic updates
4. Asset criticality ranking
5. Interactive, customizable dashboarding and reporting
6. Integration with your CMDB
Those of you in Europe will also be interested to learn about asset inventory for GDPR compliance.

How Malware Works
With malware accounting for at least 40% of all breaches, knowing how malware works can be an extremely valuable asset in your threat detection cache – especially for the incident responder. According to Verizon’s 2013 Data Breach Investigations Report, “Malware and hacking still rank as the most common [threat] actions”. In general, malware can range from being simple annoyances like pop-up advertising to causing serious damage like stealing passwords and data or infecting other machines on the network.
Malware is as old as software itself and although there are new types of malware constantly under development, they generally fall into a few broad categories. Check out this SlideShare to learn how malware works, and what we believe are the most common types of malware you should be prepared for.
By learning how malware works and recognizing its different types, you’ll understand:
- How they find their way into your network
- How attackers control them remotely
- How they use your systems for nefarious purposes
- And most importantly, the security controls you need to effectively defend against and detect malware infections. (Hint: you need more than antivirus!)

Addressing the Cyber-Security Landscape
According to the Cisco 2015 Annual Security Report, “Security is no longer a question of if a network will be compromised. Every network will, at some point, be compromised. The report also poses the question, “What will an organization do then? And if security staff knew the network was going to be compromised, would it approach security differently?”
ePlus has the answer. Provide for a Secure Perimeter and Secure Data within your data centers and cloud solutions. We work with industry-leading partners to offer solutions to both, and wrapping services for a complete solution.
Microsegmentation for enterprise data centers
With the increase in frequency and sophistication of cyber-attacks such as ransomware and data exfiltration, enterprises are starting to adopt micro-segmentation as a key defense. With micro-segmentation you’re able to segment a network down to the individual hosts, drastically bringing down the attack surface.
ColorTokens platform-agnostic software-defined security enables enterprises to efficiently secure their dynamic application environments in minutes.
ColorTokens micro-segmentation reduces the attack surface and helps protect workloads, applications, and users distributed across bare metal or multi-cloud data centers.

Since then, the series has coalesced into the current form consisting of 13 individual documents in various stages of completion, publication, and/or revision. Printing out all of the existing standards and drafts can easily use up more than a ream of paper. It can be a daunting task to try to apply it to an organization. So, what are you supposed to do? How are you supposed to proceed? In this talk, I’ll go over some of the lessons I’ve learned from helping customers develop and evaluate security programs within their organization.

Aimed at security and networking professionals, this webinar will provide insider tips and tricks to help you prepare for and pass your audit – wherever your credit card data is stored – and remain continuously compliant even if you’re breached.
Learn about the pitfalls your colleagues have already faced, and how to make the audit experience less stressful, including:
- Less is more: demystifying the scope of a PCI audit
- What’s in and what’s out: Segmenting your network for compliance
- Best practices for configuring your security infrastructure
- PCI in the public cloud – it’s not an oxymoron
Addressing the Cyber-Security Landscape
According to the Cisco 2015 Annual Security Report, “Security is no longer a question of if a network will be compromised. Every network will, at some point, be compromised. The report also poses the question, “What will an organization do then? And if security staff knew the network was going to be compromised, would it approach security differently?”
ePlus has the answer. Provide for a Secure Perimeter and Secure Data within your data centers and cloud solutions. We work with industry-leading partners to offer solutions to both, and wrapping services for a complete solution.
Microsegmentation for enterprise data centers
With the increase in frequency and sophistication of cyber-attacks such as ransomware and data exfiltration, enterprises are starting to adopt micro-segmentation as a key defense. With micro-segmentation you’re able to segment a network down to the individual hosts, drastically bringing down the attack surface.
ColorTokens platform-agnostic software-defined security enables enterprises to efficiently secure their dynamic application environments in minutes.
ColorTokens micro-segmentation reduces the attack surface and helps protect workloads, applications, and users distributed across bare metal or multi-cloud data centers.
