Intrusion Detection and Prevention Use Case - Block Traffic Based on the EVE Threat Confidence Score Sample Business Scenario

Last updated: Jul 29, 2025

Sample Business Scenario

A large corporate network uses Snort 3 as its primary intrusion detection and prevention system. In a rapidly evolving threat landscape, adoption of robust network security measures is necessary and important. The security team uses EVE to enhance encrypted traffic inspection without the need to implement full man-in-the-middle (MITM) decryption. The EVE technology uses fingerprints of known malicious processes to identify and stop malware. Network administrators must have the flexibility to configure EVE’s block traffic thresholds to block potentially malicious connections, which are based on their configured block thresholds.
