Week 10 Discussion 1

IDS  

Your labs and readings this week focus on intrusion detection  systems. Each method provides a layer of security to your business.  

• Compare and contrast  network-based and host-based IDS use in an enterprise network  infrastructure.  Determine the feasibility and necessity of utilizing  one of these IDS implementations over the others and explain which you  feel is more important and advantageous in an enterprise setting. Use  the Internet or the Strayer Library to research at least one commonly  used intrusion detection tool. Explain why you would or would not  consider implementing this product in your organization. Justify your  response. While searching the Internet, did you find any useful  resources that could help in clarifying these concepts? Share with your  classmates, and include links to any useful resource you find. 

After  reading a few of your classmate's postings, reply to the ones from  which you learned something new, or to which you have something to add.  Remember to get in early and post often.

Additional post option: What is the difference between an IDS (Intrusion Detection System) and an IPS (Intrusion Protection System)?
