Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intrusion detection is the specific software tools that monitor data flow within a network and alert the IT staff to hacking attempts or other unauthorized access attempts. Security detection is too broad and may refer to a wide range of security tools and techniques. Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing are more proactive approaches to detecting vulnerabilities in a network rather than monitoring for actual intrusions.
