Cloudflare has announced the private beta of its intrusion detection capabilities, which will provide live monitoring for threats across all network traffic. The new Intrusion Detection System (IDS) expands on existing security controls by actively monitoring for known threat signatures in traffic. This software-based solution is designed to eliminate capacity constraints and performance bottlenecks associated with traditional hardware-based IDS solutions, while also offering continuous threat intelligence updates from across Cloudflare's global network. The beta is available now for Advanced Magic Firewall customers.
