| Intrusion Detection is the use of monitoring software on servers, routers, and firewalls to identify potentially dangerous network activity and to log it for analysis. In the same way that a security camera is focused on an area that contains access to cash, such as teller lines and vaults, network intrusion detection is focused on the servers that house valuable data and the routers and firewalls that control access to that data.
iDetect from Metavante Banking Solutions is an Intrusion Detection system that acts as a filter on all network traffic between your bank and the Internet, as well as a second layer of defense in case your bank’s primary firewall is compromised. It can block incoming e-mail viruses and can reduce advertisements and pop-up ads in your web browser as well as identify many spam message and flag them for deletion. By providing comprehensive logging and analysis tools, iDetect allows your bank to readily identify those systems that might have viruses or spyware installed. For audit purposes you can research web access history for your staff. iDetect also enables you to identify employees who may be abusing their Internet privileges by downloading stolen music, pirated software, pornography, etc. and monitor the amount of time they spend on the Internet.
iDetect provides real time alerts to bank staff when it detects focused attacks or when a segment of the network goes offline. For example, if the connection to one or more branches was lost, a designated bank employee would be alerted immediately and the problem could be addressed, minimizing downtime.
As a financial institution, you can’t afford to have your network security compromised. Talk to a Metavante Banking Solutions representative today about putting iDetect to work for your bank!
