One of the problems once Security has been defined and is in
place is maintenance and monitoring. Unfortunately worms and hackers do
not wait for ‘Office Hours’ as attacks often come from overseas it’s
important to be monitoring ones systems 24/7 a damaging worm travels at
wire speed, it can infect and bring down your network extremely
quickly.
It is possible to automatically block such things, but to
some
extent, but this can be dangerous as they can also automatically shut
down your tier one applications by accident too.

Cleaning up after an attempted infection or infestation can
take weeks,
and is costly in manpower, loss of business and in some cases customer
confidence. If information is leaked from your network, the federal,
state and CISP fines scan be big enough to shut a good sized company
down for ever.
Firewalls, Routers, Switches, IDS/IPS systems and passive scanners all
produce logs, lots and lots of logs, complex vast logs of information.
It’s more than a full time job to check them, correlate them, and one
need’s 24/7 alerts for possible attacks on your systems. The
staff cost
alone is enormous, plus one can not just hire geeky kids out of school,
you need experienced security professionals, who know the difference
between a post scan from an ISP or a directed Denial of Service attack
or SQL injection. These types of attacks bring companies to their knees
on an all too regular basis. Attacks travel at wire speed, by the time
you realize what is happening your entire company in saturated with the
latest worm! Firewalls will not help you, ports are opened so you can
do business, worms and directed attacks use the same ports.

Do you really want to be woken up 3 times a night to check
out a possible attack? Wouldn’t you like to know the condition of your
servers? Are they up, down, are the services running?
