  • What Is an Intrusion-Detection System (IDS)?
    An intrusion-detection system (IDS) can be defined as the tools, methods, and resources to help identify, assess, and
    report unauthorized or unapproved network activity. The intrusion detection part of the name is a bit of a misnomer, as
    an IDS does not actually detect intrusions—it detects activity in traffic that may or may not be an intrusion. Intrusion
    detection is typically one part of an overall protection system that is installed around a system or device—it is not a
    stand-alone protection measure.
