IDS (Intrusion Detection System)
- Description
-
A hardware device or software application that monitors network activity and generates alerts for security violations. IDS can be host-based or network-based, and apply a mixture of signature-based and anomaly-based detection techniques to identify threats. Any malicious activity or infringement is usually reported to an administrator or aggregated via a SIEM. Some intrusion detection systems are augmented with tools such as a honeypot to attract and categorize malicious traffic.
NXLog Agent can simplify log analysis for an IDS by providing it with filtered, trimmed, parsed, and normalized data. It can also collect logs from diverse sources and send them to an IDS and other destinations simultaneously. Finally, intrusion detection systems also generate logs, which NXLog Agent can collect and forward to a central repository.
