HIDS can also produce false alarms, but NIDS is more common.

I disagree, I believe it's A, APIDS.
AL

Wait, are we sure about that? I thought PIDS had more issues with false positives.

Isn't it surprising how often these systems misidentify normal behavior?
EL
Elouise

I think it's definitely C, NIDS.

I’m leaning towards A, Application protocol-based IDS, but I’m a bit confused about how they differ from the others in handling false alarms.

I feel like I've seen a similar question before, and it was about how PIDS can misinterpret legitimate traffic as threats.
VA

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about HIDS being more focused on host behavior, so maybe it's not that one?

I think the answer might be C, Network intrusion detection system, because they often flag unusual traffic patterns.

I'm pretty confident that the answer is C. Network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) analyze network traffic, so they would be the most susceptible to false alarms from unusual user activity on the network.

Okay, I think I've got this. NIDS monitors network traffic, so it would be the most likely to produce false alarms from abnormal user behavior, since it's not focused on the application layer like APIDS or the host like HIDS.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the distinctions between APIDS, PIDS, NIDS, and HIDS. I'll need to review my notes to refresh my memory on how each one works.

This one seems tricky. I'll need to think carefully about the differences between the IDS types and which one is most likely to produce false alarms due to user behavior.

I wonder if any of these IDS systems can detect my stellar hacking skills. Guess I'll have to find out the hard way!

I hope the exam doesn't have any 'trick questions' like this one. These IDS types are enough to make your head spin!

I bet the answer is A) Application protocol-based intrusion detection system (APIDS). It's designed to detect issues with application-lDevorahl protocols, which could include user anomalies.
LA

I would go with C) Network intrusion detection system (NIDS) because it monitors network traffic for suspicious activities.
SA

I think you're right, A) Application protocol-based intrusion detection system (APIDS) does focus on abnormal behavior of users and network.
AS
Ashton

This is a tricky one, but I'm going to go with C) Network intrusion detection system (NIDS). It seems the most likely to catch abnormal user behavior on the network.
CA
Catarina

Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe B) Protocol-based intrusion detection system (PIDS) since it looks for deviations from normal protocol behavior.
CL
Clare

APIDS is more focused on specific application protocols for detecting abnormal behavior.
TU
Tu

True, but HIDS focuses on individual hosts for signs of intrusion.
RE
Renay

But NIDS also monitors network traffic for suspicious activity.
CH
Chantell

I think you might be right. PIDS does look for deviations in protocol behavior.
HE
Herman

D) Host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS) seems more likely to me. HIDS monitors the behavior of individual hosts and can identify unusual activity.
JO
Joni

NIDS may not be as effective in detecting abnormal user behavior compared to HIDS.
CA
Catarina
1 year ago
I agree, HIDS is designed to monitor individual hosts for unusual activity.
AL
Aleisha

I think HIDS is the best option for detecting abnormal behavior.
SH
Shawnna

I think the answer is C) Network intrusion detection system (NIDS). NIDS monitors network traffic and can detect anomalies that may indicate an attack.
IZ
Izetta

I agree, NIDS can produce false alarms due to abnormal user and network behavior.
GO
Goldie

I think the answer is C) Network intrusion detection system (NIDS).
DA
Daren

I think D) HIDS is the correct answer since it detects abnormal behavior on individual hosts.
CE
Cecily

I'm leaning towards C) NIDS because it monitors network traffic for suspicious activity.
CA
Carmen

I disagree, I believe it's B) PIDS because it focuses on abnormal behavior.
DE

I think the answer is A) APIDS.
