Find Threats Lurking on your Systems with HIDS and AlienVault USM

Host-based intrusion dection systems (HIDS) work by monitoring activity that is occurring internally on a host. HIDS look for unusual or nefarious activity by examining logs created by the operating system, looking for changes made to key system files, tracking installed software, and sometimes examining the network connections a host makes. AlienVault USM integrates HIDS with other key security controls to help you get the most out of HIDS, including: - Analyzing system behavior and configuration status to track user access and activity - Detecting system compromise, modification of critical configuration files (e.g. registry settings, /etc/passwd), common rootkits, and rogue processes - Correlating HIDS data with known IP reputation, vulnerability scans and more - Logging and reporting for PCI compliance Speakers: Garrett Gross, Sr. Technical Product Marketing Manager Garrett comes from a diverse IT background, including network/systems administration and sales engineering.
