IDS-2200 was created to fulfill a need for real-time, on-line security monitoring and reporting within the OS 2200 operating environment.
IDS provides tools for security analysts and administrators to be aware of security-related events on the OS 2200 systems they administer. This may include unauthorized attempts to access data and system resources.
The IDS OS 2200 Security Agent runs in background, on OS 2200 host systems, monitoring system logs and other sources for security related events. The IDS Security Agent transmits the event data to the IDS Server, on a Windows-based platform. The IDS Server receives and analyzes data for these events as they occur. It stores the data in the IDS Database for future access. Authorized administrators use IDS client programs to access reports and security data on the IDS Server, and to configure the product.
