Module 3: Case
Introduction
Intrusion detection is the practice of observing the events taking place in a computer network or system and exploring them for signs of potential incidents that are imminent threats or violations of policies of computer security, acceptable utilization policies, or practices for standard security. On the other hand, intrusion prevention is the practice of performing intrusion detection and putting efforts of stopping detected potential incidents (Scarfone & Mell, 2007). Further, an intrusion detection system (IDS) is a software, which automates the process of intrusion detection. An intrusion prevention system (IPS), is a software with all the abilities of an IDS and, similarly, can also stop potential incidents. Intrusion detection prevention systems (IDPS) are fundamentally focused on establishing potential incidents, logging data regarding them, attempting to halt them, and reporting them to the administrators of security. Additionally, IDPSs are utilized by organizations for other reasons, such as establishing problems with the policies regarding security, recording existing threats, and preventing individuals from infringing security policies (Scarfone & Mell, 2007). IDPSs have turned into an essential addition to every organization’s …show more content…
Acquisition managers require such information to enhance the system selection process that is mostly based only on the limited-scope reviews in trade magazines alongside the claims of the vendors. Security analysts that review IDPS’s output would want to know the possibility that alerts will result when specific attack kinds are instigated (Hu et al., 2003).
