BAE Systems has more than 10 years of experience developing network defense technologies and products for enterprise enclave and data center environments. The network defense products incorporate industry-leading anomaly detection sensors coupled with a patented, real-time correlation engine for reliable and timely defense against sophisticated adversaries using advanced zero-day cyber exploits and attacks.
The network intrusion detection and response (NIDAR) system is a network appliance for anomaly-based intrusion detection and autonomic course-of-action generation and response. NIDAR integrates network discovery, behavioral anomaly detection, deep-packet content inspection, real-time event correlation (for false-alarm suppression and mitigation), autonomic response, and forensics data capture. The system uses an open, scalable architecture capable of supporting small-, medium-, and large-scale enterprise environments.
The host intrusion detection and response (HIDAR) solution is a software agent for host (end-point) defense that monitors a host computer for anomalies that may be evidence of malicious activity, misuse, or direct attack. HIDAR, which uses the same anomaly-based intrusion detection, real-time correlation, and autonomic response methodology as NIDAR, provides an administrator-configurable response policy that includes real-time alerts, volatile memory forensics data capture, and traditional autonomic responses such as terminate processes, severe network connections, and shutdown host. When coupled with NIDAR, the HIDAR solution provides an enterprise with full defense-in-depth capability.
BAE Systems’ enterprise defense solutions are being used and are well-received by customers in the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, and the intelligence community.
When it comes to computer network operations, BAE Systems’ mantra is “know your network better than your adversary.” The BAE Systems suite of enterprise defense products provides cyber-defenders the tools to detect, track, and stay ahead of adversaries.
