Hour two: Cyber Black Ops.  Sean Galliher, CEO

Today we'll hear all about Fire Dragon, a Network intrusion detection system or NIDS.  It's an independent platform that identifies intrusions by examining network traffic and monitors multiple hosts. NIDS gain access to network traffic by connecting to a network hub, switch configured for port mirroring or a network tap. In a NIDS, sensors are placed at choke points in the network, often in the network “demilitarized zone” or at network borders. Sensors capture all network traffic and analyze the content of individual packets for malicious traffic.
