Every day, new techniques to compromise computing environments are created, and it is a great challenge for the information security market to keep up with this speed, and even be ahead so as not to act reactively. For this reason, the implementation of a good IDS policy is fundamental in a security architecture, since this feature, if constantly updated, is able to keep the infrastructure away from opportunistic attacks, either from a network perspective, or by compromising a computer itself.

IDS/IPS sensors operate in promiscuous mode by default. This means that a device (often a switch) captures traffic for the sensor and forwards a copy for analysis to the sensor. Because the device is working with a copy of the traffic, the device is performing intrusion detection. It can detect an attack and send an alert (and take other actions), but it does not prevent the attack from entering the network or a network segment.

According to the SANS Institute, network security is the process of taking preventative measures to protect the underlying networking infrastructure from unauthorized access, misuse, malfunction, modification, destruction or improper disclosure. Implementing these measures allows computers, users and programs to perform their permitted critical functions within a secure environment.

When you start investigating any cybersecurity incident, your prime focus is to scope the incident properly.
What you do basically is that you attempt to identify all systems with which the attacker has interacted before and during the attack. This includes systems where the attacker has placed persistent malware, executed utilities, harvested data, or simply logged into as part of the reconnaissance phase.
