This lab is a great tool to garner experience in physical security controls, intrusion detection systems, and firewalls. The security controls are crucial in creating a strong network security defense. The labs provide a great experience on how these tools should be configured and used to help ensure that only authorized users have access to an organization’s data. Within the lab, you will have to configure the software intrusion prevention and detection tool Snort (using the Snorby interface) to help monitor the organization’s network traffic. Familiarity with the information in the Snort report is important, as you will be analyzing a Snort report as part of your final project. It is important to know that when these events occur in a real-world environment, an alert is usually created. The alerts trigger the user to create new rules. These rules are used to mitigate the risks identified. Use the optional forum in this module to discuss any questions you might have on the output from your lab. For this activity, complete the following lab: Securing the Network With an Intrusion Detection System (IDS). Submit your completed lab in Blackboard. To complete this assignment, review the Lab Guidelines and Rubric document.
