In this video, CBT Nuggets trainer Keith Barker explains the function and application of network- and host-based intrusion detection and prevention in a network. This can help anyone working on their CompTIA Network+ certifying exam with "explaining the functions and applications of various network devices".

There are lots of potential attacks that could come into a network. For example, even if you have a firewall up and running, with just the minimum default settings in place, a user on the Internet could access one of your web servers.

And, with that access, a malicious user could lead an attack on the server and compromise sensitive information.

Good security isn’t just preventing attacks like that from ever happening – good security is also knowing about such attacks when they’re made, and even what attempts are failing.

Intrusion Detection Systems can be attached to a switch so that it receives a duplicate of all traffic that makes its way to the web servers. Intrusion Prevention Systems work by analyzing traffic at the firewall level.

And the most cost-effective method of all might be host-based intrusion detection/prevention systems integrated into network hardware.
