How Do Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) Work?
Firewalls act as a barrier between a trusted internal network and untrusted external networks, blocking potentially harmful traffic based on predefined security rules. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) monitor network traffic for suspicious activities and alert administrators to potential security breaches. In toxicology, these tools are crucial for protecting research networks from external attacks and ensuring the secure flow of data.
