Exceptionally slow network activity, disconnection from network service or unusual network traffic. A system alarm or similar indication from an intrusion detection tool. Suspicious entries in system or network accounting (e.g., a UNIX user obtains privileged access without using authorized methods)
Unexpected changes in directories and files, especially those to which access is normally restricted, may be an indication that an intrusion has occurred. Changes may include modifying, creating, or deleting directories and files.

An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a monitoring system that detects suspicious activities and generates alerts when they are detected. Based upon these alerts, a security operations center (SOC) analyst or incident responder can investigate the issue and take the appropriate actions to remediate the threat.
An intrusion is any activity that is designed to compromise your data security. This can be through more menacing and pervasive formats like ransomware or unintentional data breaches by employees or others connected to your network. An intrusion may include any of the following: Malware or ransomware.

The DIDS components include the DIDS Director, a single Host Monitor per host, and a single LAN Monitor for each LAlr{ segment of the monitored network.
Intrusion detection is a form of passive network monitoring, in which traffic is examined at a packet level and results of the analysis are logged. Intrusion prevention, on the other hand, is a more proactive approach, in which problematic patterns lead to direct action by the solution itself to fend off a breach.
There are two main types of IDSes based on where the security team sets them up: Network intrusion detection system (NIDS). Host intrusion detection system (HIDS).
