Unusual activity in network traffic can be an early sign of an attack on IT and operational technology (OT) networks. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) monitor this activity, identify potential threats, and provide visibility into security-relevant events in the network. They help IT security teams assess anomalies early and take appropriate action. In this way, intrusion detection complements existing protective mechanisms and strengthens a multi-layered security architecture.

Complementary Solutions
Intrusion detection is an integral part of comprehensive network security. Firewalls monitor traffic at network gateways and prevent unauthorized access. Data diodes protect sensitive network segments and data by enabling unidirectional data transmission. Secure remote maintenance solutions enable strictly controlled access to critical equipment and systems.
