Home > Security > Intrusion Detection
Intrusion Detection is the act of detecting actions that attempt to compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of a resource. Intrusion Detection can be performed manually or automatically. Manual intrusion detection might take place by examining log files or other evidence for signs of intrusions, including network traffic. A system that performs automated intrusion detection is called an Intrusion Detection System (IDS). An IDS can be either host-based, if it monitors system calls or logs, or network-based if it monitors the flow of network packets.
