Description: Intrusion detection is a set of technologies and practices designed to monitor network traffic for suspicious activities that may indicate various types of cyberattacks, including but not limited to Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. These systems analyze traffic patterns and user behavior to identify anomalies that could signal an imminent threat. Intrusion detection can be implemented through Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), which not only identify threats but can also take measures to mitigate the impact of an attack. The relevance of these systems lies in their ability to protect network infrastructure, ensuring the availability and integrity of online services. In an environment where cyberattacks are becoming increasingly common and sophisticated, intrusion detection becomes an essential tool for organizations looking to safeguard their digital assets and maintain business continuity. These systems can be configured to alert network administrators in real-time, allowing for a quick and effective response to potential security incidents.
