  • •Both systems alert administrators to threats but do not actively prevent them.

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are crucial for monitoring network and host activities for suspicious behavior. There are two main types: Network-Based IDS (NIDS) and Host-Based IDS (HIDS). NIDS monitors traffic across the network, while HIDS focuses on individual host devices. Both systems alert administrators to potential threats but do not prevent them. The articles emphasize the importance of a multi-layered security approach, combining IDS with firewalls and antivirus solutions. They highlight the challenges of false alarms and the need for strategic sensor placement. Effective deployment of these systems can enhance visibility and response to cyber threats, making them essential for modern cybersecurity strategies.
