What is the correct order of activities that a IDS is supposed to attempt in order to detect an intrusion?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is designed to monitor network or system activities for malicious actions or policy violations. The correct order of activities that an IDS follows to detect an intrusion starts withIntrusion Monitoring, where it observes the network traffic or system events. Following this,Intrusion Detectiontakes place, where the IDS analyzes the monitored data to identify potential security breaches. Once a potential intrusion is detected, theResponsemechanism is activated to address the intrusion, which may include alerts or automatic countermeasures. Finally,Preventionis applied to improve the system's defenses against future intrusions based on the detected patterns and responses.

I want to say it's Prevention first, but I keep second-guessing whether Monitoring should come before or after Detection.

I think the order starts with Intrusion Monitoring, but I'm not completely sure if that's before or after Detection.

I think the key is to focus on the core functions of an IDS - detecting intrusions and responding to them. The other steps seem to be supporting activities, so I'll try to figure out the right order for those.

I'm not totally sure about this one. I know an IDS is supposed to detect and respond to intrusions, but the other steps are tripping me up. I'll have to think it through carefully.

Okay, I've got this. The correct order is Intrusion Detection, Response, Prevention, and then Intrusion Monitoring. I'm confident that's the right answer.
