Digital Bouncers: Detecting Internal Threats

Your computer is constantly judging your behavior to decide if you are a criminal.

It’s called an Intrusion Detection System, and it acts like a digital bouncer. It scans for signatures,

which are known attacks, but it also watches for anomalies. That means if you

suddenly start accessing weird files at 3 AM, the system flags you as a threat.

The crazy part is that it’s not just looking for hackers. It’s hunting for internal threats,

like employees abusing their access or clicking phishing links. While you are worried

about the dark web, the real danger is usually just your coworker making a mistake.
