Intrusion Detection System (IDS)

An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a security tool used to monitor and analyze computer networks or systems for suspicious activity or policy violations. It works by examining incoming and outgoing data for signs of potential threats, such as unauthorized access or attacks. When it detects unusual behavior, the IDS alerts administrators so they can take action to protect the system. Think of it as a security alarm for your digital environment, helping to safeguard information and maintain the integrity of computer networks against cyber threats.
