Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS)
A Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) is a cybersecurity tool that monitors network traffic for suspicious activity and alerts the system administrator or security team when potential threats are detected. NIDS can analyze packets in real-time, looking for patterns that match known attack signatures or abnormal behavior that may indicate a security breach.
