Question:
Two security technologies available to secure networks are Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS). An IDS detects unauthorized user activities, attacks, and network compromises. IDS' come in two types: host-based and network-based. An intrusion prevention system (IPS) is very similar to an IDS, except that in addition to detecting and alerting, an IPS can also prevent a breach from occurring. There are three detection methods used for IPS systems: signature-based, statistical anomaly-based, and stateful protocol analysis.
What type of intrusion prevention system would you employ on your home network, and what are the detection methods you would want to be alerted about? Provide at least three examples of suspicious activity or detections you would want to monitor for in your home network traffic.
