HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System
The HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System (HP-UX HIDS) can
enhance local host-level security within your network by automatically
monitoring each configured host system within the network for signs of
unwanted and potentially damaging intrusions.
HP-UX HIDS continuously monitors for patterns that suggest security
breaches or misuses, such as an attacker break-in or subversive inside
activities. When it detects a potential intrusion, it alerts an
administrative interface where you can immediately investigate the
situation and take action.
HP-UX HIDS can even provide notification of suspicious activity that
might precede an attack.
