IDS in toxicology typically involves a combination of hardware and software solutions. Here’s a breakdown of how it functions:
Network-based IDS (NIDS): Monitors network traffic for suspicious activities and potential threats. For example, detecting unusual data transfers out of the laboratory network. Host-based IDS (HIDS): Focuses on monitoring individual devices and systems within the laboratory for unauthorized access or unusual behavior. Signature-based Detection: Uses predefined patterns or signatures of known threats to identify potential intrusions. Anomaly-based Detection: Establishes a baseline of normal activity and detects deviations from this baseline, potentially identifying new and unknown threats.
