01 · LEARN

Understand the concept

IDS
IPS
Signature detection
Anomaly detection
Alert severity
SOC
SIEM overview
Analyst workflow
Why this matters

Students should understand the difference between detection, automated prevention and analyst-driven investigation.

02 · VISUALIZE

03 · PRACTICAL

Perform the activity

  1. Follow traffic through the IDS/IPS visualizer.
  2. Classify sample events by severity.
  3. Decide whether each event should be observed, investigated or blocked in a prepared scenario.
Workshop safety: Activities involving scanning, web vulnerabilities or security testing must be performed only on the assigned training target or intentionally vulnerable lab.
04 · CODE / COMMANDS

Read and understand the working example

Traffic -> Detection Engine -> Alert / Block -> Analyst

This example is shown for guided learning. Real host/network execution is reserved for the isolated cyber-range stage.

05 · CHALLENGE

Prove your understanding

Explain the difference between IDS and IPS using one example event and one possible response.
