Hybrid IDS

Hybrid IDS

Hybrid IDS are systems that combine both Host IDS and limited Network IDS functionality on the same security platform. A Hybrid IDS can monitor system and application events and verify a file system's integrity like Host IDS, yet because the monitoring network interface runs in a non-promiscuous mode, the Network IDS functionality only serves to analyze traffic destined for the device itself. A Hybrid IDS is often deployed on an organization's most critical servers.
