Definition

Cloud IDS (Intrusion Detection System) is a security service designed to detect and respond to potential threats within cloud environments. It monitors network traffic for suspicious activities and known attack patterns, providing alerts and insights to help mitigate security risks. Cloud IDS can be integrated with other security tools to enhance visibility and automate responses to detected threats.

Secure Settings Example

# Example configuration for a cloud-based IDS using a YAML format

      action: "alert"
  logging:
    enabled: true
