NIDS
A Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) is a security tool that watches all incoming and outgoing network traffic for any signs of malicious activity or breaches of security policies, alerting administrators when a potential threat is found.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
A Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) is a cybersecurity solution deployed at strategic network points to continuously monitor inbound and outbound network traffic for anomalous behavior, known attack signatures, or policy violations, generating alerts for security analysts upon detection of potential network intrusions or threats to network security.
