Making the Most of IDS Solution and Advanced Services
The Challenge:
NIDS solutions like such as Nozomi Networks and many others leverage their advanced threat intelligence and research services to enhance the detection capabilities. If placed in isolated environment, the sensor cannot effectively leverage these services hence the benefits of these services remain hugely limited.
Connecting the sensor with a one way SPAN has also not been sustainable and the most secure approach.
The solution
Connecting the Sensor through a one way Hardware Data Diode Module ensures that the UDP feed is purely one way and there is physically no possibility of data going back to the switch from IT side.
The Outcomes:
This satisfies IEC62443 requirements related to Restricted Data Flow (RDF) , and perfectly aligns with zone and conduit recommendations.
At the same time, the end users can achieve the benefits of cloud hosted services of NIDS.
