NIDS

Example:Unlike NIDS, NATS is primarily used for IP address translation and does not monitor for security threats.

Definition:Not an Intrusion Detection System; NATS can refer to Network Address Translation Service, which operates at the network layer to change IP addresses.

Example:While both NIDS and Perimeter IDS serve to detect security threats, they have different focuses depending on their deployment.

Definition:An Intrusion Detection System that focuses on the network perimeter or boundary rather than the internal network.

Example:For a comprehensive security solution, organizations often use both NIDS and FileSystem IDS to cover different points of potential infiltration.

Definition:Host-based Intrusion Detection System that monitors file system activity for security breaches, as opposed to network traffic.
