Abstract
A modification to an applied ruleset intended for consumption by intrusion detection systems (IDSs) is detected. A service event that is configured to push the applied ruleset to a set of test network sensors associated with the IDSs is triggered. A service subscribed to the service event updates the set of test network sensors with the applied ruleset and designates a configuration version to the applied ruleset. A notification is received from the set of test network sensors that the applied ruleset has been tested and is ready for deployment to other network sensors and a request is received to deploy the applied ruleset to a set of network sensors. A determination is made whether the request includes the configuration version designated to the applied ruleset by the service. If the request includes the configuration version designated to the applied ruleset, the request to deploy the applied ruleset to the set of network sensors is authorized. If the request does not include the configuration version designated to the applied ruleset, the request to deploy the applied ruleset to the set of network sensors is denied.
