Protecting DoD information and information systems from threats, and limiting the damage when attacks are successful, are critical to national security. An intrusion detection system, or IDS, is an important tool to help you identify when a system or network is under attack. As an IDS analyst or administrator, you play a vital role in ensuring that IDSes are implemented effectively. Also, your judgment and skills are key in your ability to recognize malicious activity and take the steps necessary to limit risks and damage to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of DoD information and information systems. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals about intrusion detection systems. Please use the up and down arrows to navigate through Introduction to D O D I D S Analysis Course, Course Introduction. For each screen you will hear a description. The description is cued by an audio tone. Complex screens are divided into several descriptions. Listen to the description, and then select the play audio narration button to continue. You can access the glossary and a list of resources at any time without losing your place in the course. Screen 1 of 2. Topic title: Introduction. Screen title: Purpose. Image of three interconnected workstations appears enclosed in a circle. Image of a masked man operating a laptop appears. Animation shows a stream of ones and zeroes going from the masked man's computer to the network of workstation. Image of a man next to a deviced labeled I D S appears. Bulleted text and text boxes appear in support of audio. idsl1_02 2 When you have completed this course, you will be able to define intrusion detection systems, or IDSes, and their purpose and use within the DoD. You also will be able to classify characteristics of IDS alerts into threat categories and differentiate true security incidents from false-positive events. You will be able to identify the correct placement of an IDS sensor in a typical DoD network configuration, and you will be able to explain advanced concepts in detecting security incidents using IDS technologies. There are seven lessons in this course, starting with this Course Introduction. Lesson 2, IDSes and the DoD, addresses the importance of having IDSes in the DoD, and Lesson 3, Networking Fundamentals, discusses networking concepts that are essential for understanding intrusion detection systems. Lesson 4, IDS Overview, presents IDS types and operations and discusses IDS events, examples, and shortcomings. Lesson 5, Implementing IDSes, introduces demilitarized zones, presents different methods of sniffing, and discusses IDS configuration issues. Finally, Lesson 6, Advanced Concepts in Incident Detection, presents sophisticated techniques involved in detecting security incidents using IDS technologies. The Course Conclusion reviews key points from each lesson and provides an opportunity for you to print a certificate of completion when you have completed the course. Screen 2 of 2.
