Section Reference: Defining Firewalls and Other Perimeter Security Devices
A network intrusion detection system (NIDS) is a type of IDS that attempts to detect malicious network
activities (for example, port scans and denial-of-service attacks) by constantly monitoring network traffic. The
NIDS then reports any issues that it finds to a network administrator, as long as it is configured properly.
