Cyber threats targeting information systems and computer networks continue to escalate. These threats may stem from external actors such as hackers or internal sources like misuse of access privileges.
As a result, intrusion detection has become a crucial pillar in today’s cybersecurity frameworks.

What Is Intrusion Detection?
Intrusion detection involves monitoring and analyzing activities within computer systems or networks to identify any signs of unauthorized, illegal, or abusive access.
Its main objective is to detect potential threats early—whether from outside attackers or internal actors—so that organizations can respond before serious harm or data loss occurs.
To enable this process, a specialized tool known as an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is employed. IDS can be software-based or hardware-based, designed to automate monitoring and analysis.
An IDS constantly observes network traffic, system logs, and user activity to detect suspicious patterns, such as harmful behavior or policy violations.
When an anomaly is detected, the IDS triggers an alert, which is then forwarded to the cybersecurity team for further investigation and appropriate response. This makes IDS a proactive and vital part of modern cyber defense.

Intrusion detection and IDS are fundamental to a robust cybersecurity strategy. They provide visibility and early warning for both known and emerging threats.
With effective IDS implementation, organizations can detect incidents at an early stage, significantly reducing risks and minimizing damage. Furthermore, IDS helps in continuous monitoring of system activities and plays a critical role in incident response.
