This course introduces you to Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), offering essential knowledge and hands-on skills for detecting and mitigating security threats. As cyberattacks become more sophisticated, learning to protect systems through IDS is a critical skill for IT and security professionals. This course is designed to give you a comprehensive understanding of both Host-Based (HIDS) and Network-Based Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS). You’ll dive into core components, explore the differences between signature-based and anomaly-based detection, and gain practical experience by operating IDS tools on virtual machines.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
