Hi all,<br />
<br />
I am looking for a detailed list of the kind of support functions that an IDS operations group would be responsible for. &nbsp;By that I mean functions across the entire breadth of managing, supporting and monitoring an IDS platform.<br />
<br />
eg, release signature updates, manage incidents, patch IDS software, patch IDS OS, handle security incidents<br />
<br />
Ideally I would love some kind of framework from which I can pick and choose these which are specific to my deployment.<br />
<br />
Thanks

IDS Operational Support Functions and Processes

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Security

Network Operations includes asset management, help-desk supervision, security and user policies, infrastructure administration and anything else that affects the operation of your network. Discussions will include those of best practices in platforms, configurations, performance, security and accounting.

Network Operations

IT Administration is the processes and best practices for programming and development, and incorporates methodologies for managing activities and projects. Common methodologies include waterfall, prototyping, iterative and incremental development, spiral development, rapid application development, extreme programming and various types of agile methodology. The life-cycle "model" is a more general term for a category of methodologies, and a software development "process" a more specific term to refer to a specific process chosen by a specific organization.
