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
