As we know, HIDS and NIDS are both Intrusion Detection Systems and work for the same purpose, i.e., to detect intrusions.
Difference between HIDS and NIDS :
| Host Intrusion Detection System (HIDS) |
Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) |
| HIDS is set up on a particular host/device and monitors the traffic of a particular device and suspicious system activities. |
On the other hand, NIDS is set up on a network and is used to monitor the traffic of all network devices. |
| HIDS is used to detect intrusions. |
NIDS is used for the network to monitor the traffic of all devices. |
