In this video, CBT Nuggets trainer Keith Barker covers two very important cybersecurity technologies, IDS and IPS. Keith defines and explains them with a network visualization that will help you choose the right one for your own needs.

If you're going to go to the trouble of locking down your network, you want to do it right. That means it's not enough to keep all your ports and network connections safe from attack, it also has to include knowing when a suspicious actor is sniffing around, or an attacker is actively attempting to maliciously enter your firewall.

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) are like a quarterback that has a great defensive line and also a good helmet. Both are important, both are trying to accomplish similar objectives, but both do it differently. Watch as Keith explains them and how to choose the right ones for your network.
