Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are a critical component of any organization's security infrastructure. They work to detect malicious activity on networks, servers, and other systems, and alert the appropriate personnel when such activity is detected. IDS can take many forms, ranging from simple software programs to more complex, multi-layered systems. However, regardless of the type of IDS used, the fundamental goal remains the same: to detect malicious activity and alert security personnel in a timely manner. By doing so, organizations can minimize the risk of data loss or damage from the malicious activity. In addition, IDS can also reduce the risk of false positives, as well as provide valuable insight into the activity of malicious actors on the network.
