3. Decide on location. Where you put your IDS determines whether you get data on attacks launched from outside your network or on those launched from both outside and within.
4. Get a handle on control. If you don't have a separate, secure administrative network, create one. Your production network shouldn't control the IDS and pass messages between infrastructure components.
5. Get more storage. IDS log files tend to be huge, and you'll want to retain data for more than a day or two before the log files are rewritten because of space constraints.
6. Once it's attached, be sure your IDS sees both sides of network transactions.
7. Be observant. Study your log files and learn which alerts are meaningful, so you can modify alert types, logged events, and so on, as needed.
Subsea cable alternatives can provide a level of comfort for those concerned about disruptions. Realistically, they will continue to play a small, but critical role in the short term.
Maintaining existing network infrastructures often incurs huge technical debt before newer technologies are adopted over time.
Amid ongoing regional uncertainties, telecom infrastructure in the Middle East has expand to include terrestrial low-latency network infrastructure, which offers resilience and agility in navigating political complexities without relying solely on undersea networks.
