Think of it as a silent observer, constantly watching traffic and logs for patterns that match known threats or unusual behavior that might signal a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the context of intrusion detection system in cyber security, IDS is a foundational layer. It doesn\u2019t block traffic like a firewall. Instead, it analyzes it, flags what\u2019s suspicious, and lets security teams investigate and act.
