IDS stands for Intrusion Detection System, while NIDS stands for Network Intrusion Detection System. The main difference is in their scope. IDS monitors activities on a computer or network, while NIDS specifically focuses on network traffic to identify potential threats.

NIDS can be both hardware and software-based. Hardware NIDS involves dedicated devices that analyze network traffic, while software NIDS is installed on existing servers or systems to perform similar functions.

The components of a Network Intrusion Detection System typically include sensors to capture network traffic, a console for monitoring and managing alerts, and a database to store information about potential threats. Additionally, there may be a reporting module to generate reports on detected incidents.

xIoTz NIDS is pre-integrated with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) for easy automation and orchestration. This integration enhances the overall efficiency of threat detection and response.
