What is Snort?

Snort is recognized as the foremost Open Source Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) worldwide. This robust IPS employs a variety of rules to detect malicious network activities, comparing incoming packets against these predefined guidelines to alert users of potential threats. Moreover, Snort can be set up to function inline, which allows it to actively block harmful packets from entering a network. Its capabilities are extensive, as it can serve three primary functions: it can operate as a packet sniffer akin to tcpdump, act as a packet logger that aids in analyzing network traffic, or function as a full-fledged network intrusion prevention system. Users can easily download Snort, making it suitable for both individual and business use, though it necessitates configuration upon installation. After completing this setup, users will have access to two different rule sets: the "Community Ruleset" and the "Snort Subscriber Ruleset." The latter, developed and continuously improved by Cisco Talos, provides subscribers with timely updates to the ruleset as new threats emerge, allowing organizations to remain vigilant against evolving security challenges. Through these features, Snort empowers users to maintain a robust defense against cyber threats, making it an essential tool for network security.

What is Azure Network Watcher?

Leverage Network Watcher to oversee and resolve networking issues without having to access your virtual machines (VMs) directly. You can trigger packet capturing in response to alerts, providing you with immediate insights into performance metrics at the packet level. In the event of a network complication, you are equipped to perform an in-depth investigation for more precise diagnostics. By examining network security group flow logs and virtual network flow logs, you can deepen your understanding of network traffic dynamics. The knowledge derived from these flow logs is valuable for gathering data needed for compliance, auditing, and maintaining a comprehensive view of your network's security posture. Furthermore, Network Watcher supplies you with essential tools to troubleshoot frequent VPN gateway and connection issues, allowing you to not only identify the source of the problem but also utilize the comprehensive logs created for further examination and resolution. This functionality plays a crucial role in ensuring that your network is both secure and managed effectively, reinforcing your overall network integrity. Additionally, the proactive nature of Network Watcher helps in anticipating potential issues before they escalate into significant problems.
