BCON Network Intrusion Detection

Data Protection with Real-time Alerts, Securing Future

The need for cyber security has never been greater given that most transactions are done online. Keeping a company safe start on their home turf with their networks. This is especially dangerous for Small- to medium-sized companies that do not have the expertise or resources to manage or monitor their networks. Trusted employees, customers, and partners with network access may be unknowingly compromised with malware, etc.

Network devices’ firmware/software may not be up to date or even available (e.g. CCTV, cameras, etc.), leaving the open door wide open for intruders. These are opportunities for Hackers to deeply infiltrate unsuspecting companies to maximize their gains (e.g. ransomware, identity theft, IP theft, etc.) or inflict maximum damage (e.g. state-sponsored objectives to disrupt). Sadly, many companies do not monitor suspicious network activities until it’s too late.

BCON Network Intrusion

A proactive approach and in fact, the last line of defence to safeguard a company’s network is to have active intrusion surveillance on networks; this includes actively monitoring network activities and setting up honeypot/traps to identify and warn of any suspicious activities in order to quickly take action to stop an intrusion. 

Oppos cybersecurity consultants have created an affordable standalone alone hardware device called BCON, along with an easy-to-use app that supports intrusion monitoring and vulnerability scans. This is a plug-and-play device that will activate once it is plugged into the customer’s network.

What is BCON Intrusion Detection System?

BCON is a product developed by Oppos, designed as an innovative solution to tackle the growing challenge of cyberattacks. It’s a compact, user-friendly network intrusion detection and alerting device. BCON functions as a plug-and-play network alarm, swiftly detecting malicious activity within a network. When a breach is identified, BCON promptly sends alerts through various channels such as SMS, email, and a dedicated web portal. This system ensures businesses are immediately informed of potential security threats, empowering them to take quick action to minimize damage and protect sensitive information. 

The cost of cyberattacks is projected to reach a staggering $5.2 trillion over the next five years. With 64% of businesses expected to fall victim to these breaches and over 300,000 new pieces of malware created daily, companies are under tremendous pressure to protect their digital infrastructures.

Confronted with ever-evolving attack strategies, organizations struggle to maintain robust defenses against cyber threats. The surge in remote working has extended the workplace to employees’ homes, expanding the attack surface and potentially exposing networks to a host of vulnerabilities. The security measures employed in home networks often fall short of those in traditional corporate settings, creating potential gateways for intruders.

However, not all companies can devote substantial resources to cyber defense. Budget constraints and the scarcity of skilled cybersecurity professionals can leave many organizations unprotected, heightening the risk of damaging data breaches. This growing concern underscores the pressing need for affordable, comprehensive cybersecurity solutions to protect businesses and their employees in an increasingly perilous digital environment.

BCON, an innovative network intrusion detection system from Oppos, is designed to address these challenges. Its primary goal is to bolster cyber defenses when prevention measures falter. BCON acts as an efficient, round-the-clock watchguard, diligently monitoring network behavior for any unusual or suspicious activity.

Utilizing advanced anomaly detection methods, BCON’s compact hardware seamlessly integrates with your existing network. This host-based IDS works tirelessly, scanning network communications and incoming traffic for threat detection. Its detection capabilities are designed to minimize false alarms, focusing on known threats and identifying malicious packets within the passing traffic.

When an intrusion is detected, BCON’s alerting system springs into action. It sends immediate warnings via SMS, email, and a dedicated web portal, ensuring that the network administrator is promptly notified. This swift alert mechanism allows for rapid intrusion prevention, significantly reducing the potential damage caused by breaches.

Furthermore, BCON offers valuable insights through its customizable dashboard, providing businesses with a detailed analysis of network data. This system allows users to track and analyze security incidents effectively, contributing to improved security management.

With BCON, Oppos delivers an affordable, user-friendly solution to keep businesses one step ahead of cyber attackers.

“A large Telco client of ours required Moveable Online undergo a PCI-DSS gap assessment. After asking around within our circle or business associates, we were introduced to Oppos. They were able to aid us with the gap assessment, make recommendations to secure our environment and help prepare the documentation our client required. The process was quick, informative and we will engage Oppos for future compliance related activities, primarily our efforts with achieving PCI-DSS compliance.”

Tom Miaritis Director of Operations, Enginess.io
