Intrusion detection systems (IDS) watch and analyze events on business networks to find security
problems and threats that are about to happen. These security solutions protect businesses
by stopping cyberattacks before they happen. An intrusion detection system is a way to keep an
eye on a network and send alerts to incident responders or security operations center (SOC)
analysts when something looks suspicious. With these alerts, security staff can look into problems
that have been found and take the right steps to fix them before they cause a lot of damage.
