Your manager wants you to implement a type of intrusion detection system (IDS) that can be matched to certain types of traffic patterns. What kind of IDS is this?

Signature-based IDS.

Explanation:

IDS is an acronym for intrusion detection system and it can be defined as a security system which is typically used to monitor network traffic and it notifies the engineer when there's a malicious activity.

Generally, the detection methods used by the Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are;

1. Statistical anomaly-based detection.

2. Stateful protocol analysis detection.

3. Signature-based detection.

In this scenario, your manager wants you to implement a type of intrusion detection system (IDS) that can be matched to certain types of traffic patterns. Thus, this kind of IDS is known as a signature-based IDS.

A signature-based detection system refers to a type of detection and protection system used to detect a malicious attack such as a worm, virus, trojan, malware etc., by checking and matching them with a repository of specific signatures, patterns or fingerprints.
