Cloud-based and network-based technology has witnessed an exponential rise in development. Adaptation of these latest technologies has opened flood gates for data breaches, an increase in sophistication of cyber threats, and, a multitude of new attack vectors. Numerous tools and solutions are currently available for detection of these threats. Network-based Intrusion Detection Systems is one of the most effective tools implemented to maintain confidentiality, integrity, and, availability of networks. While there are several open source tools in the offing, this paper evaluates two open-source NIDS Snort and Suricata, along with strategic placement of multi sensor IDS in a WAN environment, in combination with NIDS, for in time threat detection and protection of systems.
