Secure Setup of a Corporate Detection and Scanning Environment

Credant
Abstract
This paper covers the secure deployment of a distributed intrusion detection environment as well as the secure deployment of a distributed vulnerability scanning environment. Since a lot of companies do not have the proper security budget (yet), the focus of this paper lays on using open source tools. The open source tools that are used are snort (with acid), nessus, nmap, nikto, inprotect and gherkin. The URL's of the websites of these tools can be found in the reference list and in the components description.
