IDS

An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a security tool that monitors a computer network for signs of malicious activity or unauthorized access. It analyzes data flowing through the network, looking for patterns or behavior that indicate potential threats, such as hackers attempting to break in or malware spreading. When it detects suspicious activity, it alerts security teams so they can investigate and respond swiftly. Think of an IDS as an automated security guard that watches over your network, helping protect sensitive information and ensuring the system runs safely.
