PRI? Seriously? That's like trying to stop a bank heist with a piggy bank. Gotta go with the IDS solution, it's the only one that really addresses the security concerns here.

I'm picturing the admin sitting at their desk, sipping coffee and getting those IDS alerts like 'Hacker spotted! Engage security protocols!' It's like being a secret agent, but with less exploding pens.

C: I agree, it's like having a security guard watching over the server 24/7.

I don't know, an IDS seems a bit overkill. Why not just go with a good old-fashioned firewall? It'll do the job just fine and it's probably cheaper too.

Firewalls are great for blocking traffic, but an IDS can provide more detailed information about potential threats.

But wouldn't a firewall be enough to block any unauthorized access attempts?

Firewalls are good for basic protection, but an IDS can provide more advanced threat detection.

I'm gonna have to go with C. An IDS is specifically designed to detect and respond to hacking attempts. Why settle for anything less than the best protection for your PHI?

IDS is definitely the way to go here. It can monitor the server for suspicious activity and alert the admin. Plus, it's a lot more comprehensive than just a firewall or VPN.
