Detect and block attacks
With an intrusion detection system, you scan network traffic for attacks – the intrusion prevention system then blocks them. In combination, they make the invisible visible – and the insecure secure.
Everything in view
Analysis and evaluation of the attacks
With Enginsight, you always stay up to date on the status of potential attacks. Learn where attacks originate and how far they have come.
- An overview of all attacks in the IT environment
- Analysis and evaluation of the attacks
- Inform responsible persons automatically
Safety everywhere
Flexibility: Scalable and home office ready
Home office devices in particular are usually more vulnerable to attacks. With Enginsight you stay secure and benefit from hardware-independent flexibility and scalability
- Enginsight grows with your IT - without hardware upgrades
- Best security even outside the company network
- Performance and availability in harmony
Proactive
View into internal network
The decentralized approach allows you to detect and block attacks not only from the outside, but also in the internal network. Even with successful infiltration, attackers cannot spread further.
- Successful attacks remain limited within a network segment
- Isolation of infected systems protects against outages
- Protects you where a firewall reaches its limits
Detect threats even behind the firewall and stop attacks before they bring your systems to their knees. Focus on a holistic protection of your IT landscape and enrich your security measures with further precautions.
Technical details
Would you like to know a little more? Then you are exactly right here! Find out what Enginsight does for you in detail on the subject of IDS / IPS completely automatically.
The technical basis of Enginsight’s intrusion detection and prevention system is the Pulsar agents installed on all servers and clients. The IDS/IPS is therefore host-based. This is where Enginsight differs from network-based systems where the sensor is integrated at the switch, behind the firewall or in the firewall. This means that the IDS/IPS can be scaled hardware-independently for any size of company and remains active even if a client leaves the company network, e.g. to the home office.
The decentralized approach also makes it possible to detect and block attacks from within the internal network or even within a network segment. Attempts by hackers to spread further in the network after successful infiltration can thus be effectively prevented.
- Host-based
- Scalable
- Homeoffice-ready
- Detect and block attacks from internal network
Enginsight examines the content of network traffic for a variety of suspicious activities. By targeting very basic attack types, the IDS covers all major categories of network-based attacks. This already makes it almost impossible for the attacker to spy out information, gain access or spread further into the systems unnoticed.
- Port Scan (TCP, UDP)
- Spoofing (ARP, DNS)
- Bruteforce (e.g. on SSH, FTP, RDP, HTTP)
- Cross Site Scripting
- SQL Injection
- … and much more!
The scope of attacks that Enginsight detects and blocks can be extended to include those described in the SNORT Communiy Rules. Thus, the IDS/IPS also covers more specific attacks, for example on certain applications. For example, attacks on Microsoft IIS or Exchange Server, attempts to access sensitive data on a web server or CGI attacks can be identified. With just one click, SNORT Community Rules can be activated to benefit from advanced detection capabilities.
- Detect and block attacks on specific software
- benefit from the large scope of SNORT Community Rules
Detection and blocking levels can be assigned to all servers and clients according to their protection needs. This brings security, performance and availability into the ideal balance. By grouping servers and clients beforehand using the tag system, the user can then set the desired levels for the groups using a simple slider.
- Easy configuration
- Take over risk assessments
- Align security, performance and availability
In the platform, Enginsight consolidates the network attacks detected on all servers and clients. IP addresses, origin and attack vectors used can be viewed here. Each attack is rated according to urgency (high, medium, low).
In addition, Enginsight analyzes the stage the attacker has already reached: from information gathering, to trying to gain access, to spreading to other systems in the network. Responsible persons can be informed about critical conditions with an alarm.

Customized whitelist entries can be used to define unusual but harmless behavior to ensure availability and smooth operation. For example, a whitelist entry is the right choice to allow the software component of Enginsight’s penetration testing to work properly. But other harmless activities on the network can also be handled specifically by IP address, attack vector, protocol and software.
