Intrusion detection is a type of security management system for computers and networks where the system gathers and analyzes information from various areas within a computer or a network to identify possible security breaches, which include both intrusions and misuse. Basically, Intrusion detection uses vulnerability assessment, which is a technology developed to assess the security of a computer system or network.

Window Web Hosting employs a commercial intrusion protection system that scans every piece of traffic to and from the server for common intrusion attempts. New filters are continuously fed to the IPS to keep it up-to-date against the latest vulnerabilities. We log every attempt to log into our system and automatically prevent all traffic from systems found to be attempting to break into our system using Brute Force. This has enabled Window Web Hosting to deliver a better uptime for customers and there is no longer a need to monitor the servers for exploitable processes.
