A targeted attack refers to a type of threat in which threat actors actively pursue and compromise a target entity’s infrastructure while maintaining anonymity. These attackers have a certain level of expertise and have sufficient resources to conduct their schemes over a long-term period. They can adapt, adjust, or improve their attacks to counter their victim’s defenses.

Containers offer a logical packaging mechanism in which applications can be abstracted from the environment in which they actually run. This decoupling allows container-based applications to be deployed easily and consistently, regardless of whether the target environment is a private data center, the public cloud, or even a developer’s personal laptop.

Every day, new techniques to compromise computing environments are created, and it is a great challenge for the information security market to keep up with this speed, and even be ahead so as not to act reactively. For this reason, the implementation of a good IDS policy is fundamental in a security architecture, since this feature, if constantly updated, is able to keep the infrastructure away from opportunistic attacks, either from a network perspective, or by compromising a computer itself.

IDS/IPS sensors operate in promiscuous mode by default. This means that a device (often a switch) captures traffic for the sensor and forwards a copy for analysis to the sensor. Because the device is working with a copy of the traffic, the device is performing intrusion detection. It can detect an attack and send an alert (and take other actions), but it does not prevent the attack from entering the network or a network segment.
