An intrusion detection system (IDS) inspects all inbound and outbound network activity and identifies suspicious patterns that may indicate a network or system attack from someone attempting to break into or compromise a system. There are several ways to categorize an IDS:
Civil inattention. Civil inattention is the process whereby strangers who are in close proximity demonstrate that they are aware of one another, without imposing on each other â a recognition of the claims of others to a public space, and of their own personal boundaries.
inâ¢ciâ¢dent. 1. an event. 2. a distinct piece of action, as in a story. 3. something that occurs casually in connection with something else. 4. something appertaining or attaching to something else. 5. a seemingly minor occurrence, esp. involving nations or factions, that can lead to serious consequences.
