Intrusion Detection with Industrial Defender

As operational technology (OT) and IT networks become more interconnected, the risk of cyber intrusion rises—and so does the need for continuous monitoring. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) offer a non-intrusive way to detect unauthorized or malicious activity by monitoring mirrored traffic in real time. For critical infrastructure organizations, IDS is more than a best practice—it's a growing compliance requirement.

This resource explores how IDS works in OT environments and how Industrial Defender delivers safe, effective intrusion detection through its integrated data collector. Learn why IDS is essential for maintaining visibility, reducing dwell time, and meeting regulations like NERC CIP-015, IEC 62443, NIS2, and TSA directives.

What you’ll learn:

• Why IDS is uniquely suited for OT environments
• How signature-based detection works with Snort
• The difference between IDS and IPS in industrial settings
• How Industrial Defender enriches and prioritizes events for faster response
• Integration points for SIEM, SOAR, and broader security ecosystems
