→Host-based IDS - Weaknesses
== Host-based IDS - Weaknesses ==
* '''Use of Local System Resources''' - Host-based IDSs use CPU and memory resources of the systems they are designed to protect. Whilst not a serious issue for typical users this can have a significant impact on system where high performance or real-time demands are made on the system.
* '''Scalability''' - Whilst host-based intrusion detection systems work well for deployment on smaller numbers of systems the tracking, monitoring and maintaining of hundreds or thousands of systems can quickly become a cumbersome overhead in terms of costs and resources.
