Intrusion Detection System

Summary

An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a network security device that monitors network or system activities for malicious activities or policy violations.

Detailed Description

An IDS can be classified as either a network intrusion detection system (NIDS) or a host intrusion detection system (HIDS). NIDS monitors network traffic for suspicious activity, while HIDS monitors the host’s operating system. An IDS may log information, attempt to block or stop the intrusion, and alert administrators of potential threats. More advanced IDS solutions incorporate machine learning and AI to analyze and respond to threats in real time.
