What is an Intrusion Detection System?
An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a device or software application that monitors a network for malicious activity or policy violations. Any malicious activity or violation is typically reported or collected centrally using a security information and event management system. Some IDS’s are capable of responding to detected intrusion upon discovery. These are classified as intrusion prevention systems (IPS).
Why Intrusion Detection Systems Are Important?
Modern networked business environments require a high level of security to ensure safe and trusted communication of information between various organizations. An intrusion detection system acts as an adaptable safeguard technology for system security after traditional technologies fail. Cyber attacks will only become more sophisticated, so it is important that protection technologies adapt along with their threats.
