Network Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)

A service overview and catalog of Network Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) provided by the UC Berkeley IT Service Hub.

Description

The Information Security Office (ISO) operates several "Intrusion Detection Systems" (IDS) to detect and respond to security incidents involving computers connected to the campus network. These systems monitor and analyze network traffic and generate alerts. Alerts are reviewed by ISO security analysts and, if warranted, notifications are sent to designated security contacts for investigation and remediation.

By detecting intrusions and requiring remediation, we remove these threats from the campus network. This helps to create a safe and secure environment for university electronic resources.

Benefits & Features

All network traffic crossing one of our tapping locations is monitored, so all members of the campus community with devices and data connecting to the Internet can benefit from our services. This includes:

Researchers using the network for storage and transmission of research data
Students using electronic resources to complete their coursework
Staff supporting University administrative functions requiring information technology resources
University administration meeting legal and ethical requirements to protect private information
Individuals with private information on campus information technology systems
