In this course, we will discuss the fundamentals of intrusion detection and prevention on Amazon Web Services. We will explore the difference between IDS and IPS, and the difference between host-based intrusion prevention, and network-based Intrusion prevention. We’ll also discuss the various AWS architectures, how do you place an IPS, how do you write rules, how do you respond to the incidents that have been detected, and finally the partner solutions available for intrusion prevention with Amazon web services.
