Host Based Intrusion Detection Systems | CBT Nuggets

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.

The content of the video is solid however where I believe the video shines is in the presentation of the video, I didn't mind watching it at all and now i am thinking about leaving pluralsite for CBT Nuggets, Thanks for the video.

[LoveSoLost]

it was perfect, easy to follow and understand
thanks

[proxylady]

You are too funny Keith! "....HTTP is the language of love....".... subtle segue into manipulation. Clever you are*. As always, outstanding presentation style; it's the antithesis of boring. I just hope these are the same Firewall and IPS I need for ICND1v3. ;)**. Thinking of doing CBT for this version. Back to Python practice...something about unicorns. Stay cool!

[ozamrani]

It would of been better of you gave some explanation to IPS signatures and anomaly's

[donnyboy]

Hi Keith, have you done any videos on how to create signature and anomaly on the router in regards to ips on local network if not how can i deploy ips for my local network as well as DMz please guide me thanks mate

[tokyoparis]

If HIDS is intergrated in Firewall or Router, then there is no need to install it in every host behind them????

[ving]

Amazing...video keith... just amazing....

[PackoXTI]

Hi Keith. Will you make a nuggets series for CCNA Security 210-260? I've just finished my CCNA R&S and ready to learn Security, it would be so great to learn with CBTNuggets...

[xFuZeBLaZiN]

This video is great! Where can i find more Network+ content from you guys?

[vuihanlim]

Purpose to install IPS is for bypass traffic :P
