Summary
This chapter focused on the IDS solution that is integrated with the Cisco IOS Firewall feature set. The IDS is a powerful tool that you can use to provide an extra layer of protection on your network.
The IDS device analyzes traffic against signature types. The Cisco IDS implementation can look at a single packet as well as multiple packets when doing threat analysis.
Implementing the IDS on the network allows network engineers to monitor, track, and block certain signature types on the network.
