Traditional Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) can be costly, difficult to install, and may not provide all the capabilities that you need to defend your network. Network Security Monitoring (NSM) combines traditional IDS alerts with additional data to give you a more complete picture of what’s happening on your network. This presentation will demonstrate how to deploy NSM in just a few minutes using a free Linux distro called Security Onion.
