Intrusion Detection Policy

• Automatic monitoring is done to identify patterns that might signify the lack of availability of certain services and systems (DOS attacks).
• Next Health Choice firewalls monitor all incoming traffic to detect potential denial of service attacks. Suspected attack sources are blocked automatically. Additionally, our hosting provider actively monitors its network to detect denial of services attacks.
• All new firewall rules and configuration changes are tested before being pushed into production. All firewall and router rules are reviewed every quarter.
• Next Health Choice utilizes redundant firewall on network perimeters.
