What is an Intrusion Detection System? An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is software used to monitor a network for malicious activity or policy violations. Suspicious activity the IDS monitors for can include ‘signatures’ of known attacks or behaviours, such as traffic going to a malicious domain, or ‘anomalies’, such as a network login from an unexpected location, or sudden change in traffic. If any issues are detected, the system automatically reports these through an event management system, to be picked up by either your in-house IT team, or your provider, depending on your management setup. The issue can then be addressed and mitigated. There are two main classifications of IDS: network intrusion detection systems, which analyse incoming network traffic, and host-based intrusion detection systems, which monitor operating system files. All types of IDS act as a visibility tool for your systems, alerting you to any potential issues. #IntrusionDetection #IDS #YourCloudExperts

hello everyone today is my day 75-78 of #100daysofcybersecurity I've successfully completed Sound the Alarm: Detection and Response. What I learned >Identify the steps to contain, eradicate, and recover from an incident >Analyze packets to interpret network communications >Understand basic syntax, components of signatures and logs in Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) tools >Perform queries in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools to investigate an event

Longest module as of yet! A lot of information and I had a lot of questions for my dad who thankfully is a senior network engineer who was able to break it down. The one question I got wrong "A security solution installed on an endpoint in order to detect potentially anomalous activity." I put down Security incident and event management system (SIEM) when in reality it was most probably "Host-based intrusion prevention system", the term endpoint was really key here and I missed the hint. One more module then onto prepping for the exam.

The Importance of Host Based Intrusion Detection Systems A host-based intrusion detection system, or HIDS, is a network application that monitors suspicious and malicious behavior, both internally and externally. The HIDS’ job is to flag any unusual patterns of behavior that could signify a breach. By bringing this activity to the team’s attention, the HIDS enables in-house staff to investigate and block nefarious activity before serious consequences occur.
