#Intrusion Detection

Intrusion detection is the self-proclaimed guardian of the network that, in reality, floods administrators with alerts to induce panic. It boasts of monitoring external threats while routinely overlooking the true intruders hiding in employees’ careless USBs and chat messages. The alarms it triggers are mostly false positives, and by the time someone responds earnestly, a genuine attack may have already slipped through. Under the guise of technology it provides a false sense of security, only to shatter that illusion when it fails. Usage example: The admin trusted the intrusion detection system completely, then shared meeting documents with no password.
