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.
Latency is a noun referring to something inactive, dormant, or lying in wait. Itâs the state of not being visibly active yet â like when you're hiding out and waiting to jump up and yell Surprise!. Perhaps a little late, perhaps right on time, latency will wake up from its nap eventually.
