Study Notes
Network-based IDS vs Host-based IDS
- Network-based IDS has visibility of network traffic, whereas host-based IDS has visibility of activities within a host or system.
- Primary function of network-based IDS is to monitor and analyze network traffic to identify signs of unauthorized access or malicious activity.
- Network-based IDS systems specifically focus on detecting and preventing attacks that are launched across the network.
Host-based IDS
- Key strength of host-based IDS systems is their ability to detect and respond to system-level anomalies and unauthorized activities.
- Host-based IDS is best at detecting unauthorized file modifications and user activity due to its visibility into system-level events and activities.
