A network-based IDS deals with traffic to and from the network and does not have access to directly interface with the host. Intrusion detection systems are alert-driven, but they require the information systems security practitioner to configure them properly.

Introduction In the war zone that is the modern Internet, manually reviewing each networked system for security flaws is no longer feasible. Operating systems, applications, and network protocols have grown so complex over the last decade that it takes a dedicated security administrator to keep even a relatively small network shielded from attack. Each technical advance brings wave after wave of security holes. A new protocol might result in dozens of actual implementations, each of which could contain
