A multinational corporation has recently implemented an intrusion detection system $($IDS$)$ and intrusion prevention system $($IPS$)$ to protect its network infrastructure.

The security team receives many alerts and struggles to manage false positives. The team must optimize the IDS and IPS to identify and prioritize actual threats while minimizing irrelevant alerts.

Which primary strategy should the team adopt to achieve this objective?

answer

Implement trend analysis to identify patterns and anomalies, tune the IDS$/$IPS over time, and prioritize genuine threats.

Ignore all alerts from the IDS$/$IPS to focus on manual monitoring of network traffic.

Integrate SELinux policies for a layered security approach, ensuring system$-$level restrictions to applications and processes.

Apply signature$-$based detection rules only to filter out false positives.
