What is NID: Network Interface Device? NID: Network Interface Device. A device that terminates copper pair from the serving central office at the user's destination and which is typically located outside that location. In a FIOS installation with phone service, the installer will run a cable from the ONT to the NID in order to connect the POTS termination on the ONT to the existing inside wiring.
The NIDS analyzes data packets both inbound and outbound and offer real-time detection. A HIDS analyzes the traffic to and from the specific computer on which the intrusion detection software is installed. A host-based system also has the ability to monitor key system files and any attempt to overwrite these files. However, depending on the size of the network, either HIDS or NIDS is deployed. For instance, if the size of the network is small, then NIDS is usually cheaper to implement and it requires less administration and training than HIDS. However, a HIDS is generally more versatile than a NIDS.
