Add dedicated taps or virtual mirror ports near mission-critical servers to monitor east-west traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hardware taps ensure packet fidelity under load, whereas SPAN ports, although convenient, can drop packets at high throughput. Verify visibility across VLANs and overlay networks to avoid silent gaps.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Handling Encrypted Traffic and Cloud Overlay Visibility<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">TLS obscures payloads. Where policy and law permit, terminate or decrypt traffic before the sensor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Otherwise, enrich detection with flow metadata and host logs. In cloud or virtualised overlays, enable virtual taps or consume provider flow logs (e.g., VPC Flow Logs) so the IDS still sees east-west movements. When decryption is off the table, lean on HIDS for deeper context.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tuning to Reduce False Positives and Alert Fatigue<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Begin with high-severity, well-tested rule sets.
