Safe With Intrusion Detection System

Intrusion Detection System is a device which monitors and detects any kind of threats or suspicious activities and alerts the environment or the authority.

Some of the intrusion detection systems are also capable of taking immediate action when some malicious activities are happening including blocking activities from a particular I.P address which is being suspected of threat.

Type OfIntrusion Detection System

There are various types of Intrusion Detection System based on classifications

• Network-Based IDS: It looks after the system and monitors it from external threats and prevents unauthorized access.
• Wireless IDS: It looks after the wireless traffic and analyses wireless networking system and whereas prevents unauthorized use of wireless activities.
• Network Behavior analysis is used to search the traffic of the given network so that they can identify the issues and threats related to malware in the network.
• Host Base: It is mainly used to analyze the internals of the computer and its network system. It also detects the behavior of the computer system to detect threats caused by intruders.

Intrusion Detection System is one of the must-have security systems for technology-related companies where a lot of data is being stored in the computer and an experienced engineer is needed to administer them properly.

Some Of The Profits Of Intrusion Detection System Are

• They can focus on providing security for a particular network package.
• The information related to the previous attacks are been analyzed by the system to provide a report so that a more efficient solution can be made in future.
• They make it easy to keep up with regulations.
• The can increase efficiency and hence is economical.

Cons OfIntrusion Detection System

• They will not prevent attacks by themselves they will just detect.
• They do not process encrypted packages
• IP packets can still be undetected if the attacker is using a fake IP address
• Sometimes IDS allows showing false positive of traffic and suddenly real attacks can happen.

Despite few threats, IDS can always be monitored properly with the help of efficient and smart engineers. As the cyber threat is updating day by day Intrusion Detection are also updated to prevent those threats. This war of technology will go on forever.
