Network or host-based intrusion detection systems (IDS) and network or host-based intrusion prevention systems (IPS), along with firewalls, represent some of the tools available to defend networks and keep them secure. As you progress through the various labs and readings in this course, keep these fundamental security concepts in mind.
Complete the following for both IDS and IPS:
- Examine two advantages and two disadvantages of each system.
- Explain where you recommend using each system, or both systems, and why.
- Provide a specific example of each system that meets the budget and defensive needs of a home or small office.
