A regional bank with a large number of regional branch offices deploys online banking applications that are used by all their branches and business customers to manage accounts, transfer money, and pay bills. Rigorous testing of the application by the bank's internal security group and outside security experts just prior to moving the application into production uncovered several vulnerabilities. An interim solution was needed to mitigate risk while an application patch was developed and tested by the vendor, thereby protecting the bank, its partners and customer base. Application firewalls and host-based intrusion prevention systems were evaluated and considered but discarded due to concerns about performance and application availability. The bank was seeking a non-intrusive monitoring solution that delivered real-time detection and alerting of attacks against the vulnerabilities. Develop a security solution for this bank that delivers full-time user monitoring, real-time incident and early fraud detection and does not impact performance. What technologies should be used?
