IDS Metrics

Introduction

This document delineates the performance of the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) through an analytical Metrics Report. It reflects the IDS's efficacy in sensing and reacting to security threats within a designated timeframe.

IDS Metrics Visualization

Report Components

Alerts Over Time

  • Bar Graph: Illustrates the frequency of IDS alerts per day, enabling trend analysis and identification of anomalous security events warranting further examination.

Alerts by Severity

  • Pie Chart: Segregates alerts into various severity tiers, integral for the prioritization of response tactics and the strategic deployment of security resources.

Top Signatures

  • Bar Chart: Enumerates the most recurrent threat signatures detected, shedding light on prevalent attack vectors assailing the network.

Blocked Attacks

  • Comparative Chart: Juxtaposes the count of assaults thwarted by the IDS against those that succeeded, gauging the system’s defensive proficiency.

Top Sources and Targets

  • Enumerations: Discloses frequent origins and destinations of IDS alerts, instrumental in the identification of potentially vulnerable systems or high-risk entities.

Report Utilization

Stakeholders are encouraged to use this report to:

  • Evaluate the existing threat environment and the IDS's response aptitude.
  • Refine defensive strategies and augment IDS configurations drawing from the insights rendered.
  • Bolster overall security stances by remediating detected vulnerabilities and addressing prevalent attack methodologies.

Conclusion

The IDS Metrics Report stands as a critical component in the sustenance of network integrity and the assurance of robust security measures against discerned threats.
