Intrusiedetectiesystemen
Intrusion detection systems, often abbreviated as IDS, are network security tools that monitor for malicious activity or policy violations. They function by analyzing network traffic or system logs for suspicious patterns that could indicate a security breach. When a potential threat is detected, an IDS typically generates an alert to notify security personnel.
There are two primary types of intrusion detection systems: network-based IDS (NIDS) and host-based IDS (HIDS).
Intrusion detection systems can employ various detection methods. Signature-based detection compares observed activity against a database
While an IDS can identify and alert on suspicious activities, it does not typically take direct action
