High stakes = high risk

How valuable is effective network security to your company? According to the CSI/FBI 2002 Computer Crime and Security Survey, 80% of the 500+ corporations, agencies, and institutions surveyed reported financial loss due to access breaches1.

Even more eye-opening, the average cost of each breach exceeded $2,044,161.

The solution? Effective, network-based intrusion detection service — the perfect complement to firewall protection.

Add virtual surveillance to your network

Sprint Intrusion Detection Service (IDS) can safeguard the edges of your network to monitor and warn against unlawful access attempts. Sprint IDS solutions can log intrusion information around-the-clock, giving you the early warning you need to react quickly and protect your intellectual assets.

Effective protection that sees — and reports — all

Here's how it works: Sprint IDS begins by deploying managed perimeter security around access choke points. Incoming packets are then analyzed for recognized malicious code ("signatures"). When a signature is detected, data is processed to the IDS management platform for further analysis and response.

With Sprint IDS monitoring your access, you can:

Identify threats that go unnoticed by firewalls and virtual private networks (VPNs)
Leverage real-time reporting to safeguard critical intellectual assets, systems, and resources
Maintain up-to-the-minute intelligence of the access issues that threaten your network, enabling an effective, evolving defense strategy
Streamline capital security expenses by trusting detection management to an industry leader

Early warning for timely defense

Sprint IDS can help you stay on top of intrusion attempts with on-going event alerts, daily and monthly activity reports, and flexible rule change options.

Additional features include:

Management of 1 subnet
100Mbps aggregate throughput
Rule set defined by firewall policy and SANS/FBI Top 20
Automatic signature updates and rule set synchronization with existing managed firewalls (if applicable)
