Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is the easiest and most common method for managing a Windows server remotely. RDP is a type of service that enables users to remotely access and configure a Windows server or a computer from anywhere in the world. It provides a convenient way to work on a remote system as if you were physically present at the machine. RDP is commonly used by businesses and individuals for remote administration, technical support, and telecommuting.

Basic Firewall Rules

In a firewall rule, the action component decides if it will permit or block traffic. It has an action-on-match feature. For example, if the traffic matches the components of a rule, then it will be permitted to connect to the network. It is essential to consider the potential security risks when modifying a firewall rule to avoid future issues. Following firewall rules best practices can help you maximize the effectiveness of your solution.

VMware’s security solutions have significantly transformed the IT industry. VMware’s NSX-T data center provides users with a distributed firewall feature that allows micro-segmentation, which separates all components in the network at each virtual machine (VM) in the hypervisor. The distributed firewall feature in NSX-T Data Center is a crucial component of a secure network.

The security of your network is of the highest priority, and an attack on your network could cost your business thousands, or even millions, of dollars. An intrusion detection system is one such system that can be used to monitor your network and receive alerts when suspicious activity is detected. In this article, we will explain what an intrusion detection system is and how it works.

Introduction

Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are an ever-present requirement in a cybersecurity infrastructure to ensure a server or internal network is protected. An intrusion detection system is either a hardware device or software program that actively monitors a server or group of servers for network policy violations or malicious activity. Any suspicious activity, attempted attack, or policy violation is reported and logged to a centrally located security information and event management (SIEM) system database, or directly to a security administrator for further review. This article explores Liquid Web’s intrusion detection product called Alert Logic Security and Compliance Suite.
