Rule-based monitoring is based on prior knowledge of a given threat, which means that rule-based monitoring only catches the things we know already. As a result, discovering new security threats is impossible for the simple reason that the threats haven not been included in the monitoring parameters.

It has become a race - the time from a new vulnerability becomes known until software is patched or rules are updated is becoming less and less.

A few years ago, you might have had a few weeks in which to safeguard your systems, but that situation is a thing of the past. In many cases, you simply don't have time to react before your security system's flaw has already been exploited. Therefore rule-based systems are starting to fail. They cannot keep up with the rising levels of network complexity and modern security threats.

To counter these limitations of rule-based monitoring, InspektOne is based on holistic algorithms that detect unusual events.
