Special way to reduce risk during ecnomic crisis
It’s a common practice to deploy honeypot and snort to protect intranet by detecting the potential threats. Both of honeypot and snort are open source tools. During the global financial crisis, it’s becoming more attactive to build the information security management system (ISMS) with them when we are lack of enough budget to protect the intranet or LAN.However, based on best practices, we don’t recommend you to deploy them in DMZ, because it will entice lots of attack attempts. But when we deploy them in intranet or LAN, it will help us to locate where the attackers are from and who they would be, knowing what they have done ,what they are doing as well as what they will do. Furthermore this will delay the time of the attacking. It’s very helpful to build your own “trap system” for your company with low cost and high benefit, especially, during the “special period”. It’s more appropriate for small-to-medium-size businesses (SMBs).
