Learn about new features, changes, and improvements to UpGuard: An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a software application or hardware device that detects vulnerability exploits, malicious activity, or policy violations. IDSs identify security threats by assessing network traffic against known threats, security policy violations, and open port scanning.

Intrusion detection systems are beneficial to an organization's incident response planning by helping security teams detect cyber attacks in real-time.

Cyber threat actors use a variety of evasion techniques to bypass IDS detection and gain unauthorized access into a network.

The platform combines several open source technologies, such as Snort, Suricata, Zeek, and Sguil to provide comprehensive intrusion detection, network security monitoring, and log management.
