Hello and welcome. My name is Keith Barker.
And I'd like to start off with a couple of questions.
Number one, if there is some attacker on your network
or a curious employee who's using some attack and discovery tools,
first of all, would we want to know about that?
Now, for most of us, the answer is, yeah, I want to be aware of it.
And then secondly, if possible, would we want to prevent that attack
or from that malicious activity from progressing any further into our network?
And also, for many people that is a yes,
I would love to both identify it and prevent it. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
I would love to both identify it and prevent it.
Well, I've got some great news for us.
And that's this, if we're looking for that functionality
of identifying and preventing attacks and malicious activity,
one of the tools we have inside of NSX to do that
is the ability to create policies and rules
that are looking for and/or preventing that type of malicious activity.
And it's known as IDS for Intrusion Detection
or IPS Intrusion Prevention Services.
So in this skill, we'll take a big picture look at what's offered
by VMware and NSX for IDS/IPS.
We'll follow it up with a game plan of what we hope to accomplish. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
We'll follow it up with a game plan of what we hope to accomplish.
And then we'll walk through step by step the implementation
and verification of IDS and IPS services in NSX.
So if you're ready, I'm ready.
And I'll see you in the very next video.
