Intrusion detection is the ability to detect attacks against a network.
Intrusion prevention takes this ability further by stopping attacks against the
network. This module will introduce the basic concepts of intrusion prevention
and detection. The basic types of inspection engines used in an intrusion
detection system (IDS) and an intrusion prevention system (IPS) will also be
discussed. The module will conclude with an introduction to the IDS and IPS
devices that are part of the Cisco Self-Defending Network solution.
