Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An intrusion detection system (IDS) combines traffic sniffing with analysis techniques to identify and alert on possible security incidents or policy violations. Firewalls and routers are network infrastructure devices that control traffic flow, but do not necessarily have traffic analysis capabilities. An application firewall is a type of firewall that inspects traffic at the application layer, but it is not specifically designed for intrusion detection.
