Explanation:
Companies can set predefined thresholds for the number of certain types of errorsthat will be allowed before the activity is considered suspicious. The threshold isa baseline for violation activities that may be normal for a user to commit beforealarms are raised. This baseline is referred to as a clipping level. Once thisclipping level has been exceeded, further violations are recorded for review. Mostof the time, IDS software is used to track these activities and behavior patterns,because it would be too overwhelming for an individual to continually monitor stacks of audit logs and properly identify certain activity patterns. Once the clipping level is exceeded, the IDS can e-mail a message to the network administrator, send amessage to his phone, or just add this information to the logs, depending on how the IDS software is configured.
