intrusion detection
Unauthorized access spotting
Intrusion detection is the practice of monitoring computer systems or networks for unauthorized access, malicious activity, or policy violations.
An intrusion detection system (IDS) analyzes traffic patterns and alerts administrators to suspicious behavior: The intrusion detection software flagged multiple failed login attempts.
Distinct from firewalls, which block threats, intrusion detection identifies and reports them.
