Is there any difference between vulnerability scanner and an IDS.( Intrusion detection System )
Answer: Take fire security for example, an intruder Defection System is like a fire alarm. When there is thick smoke indoors, it will make the alarm sound. Vulnerability Scanner is like fire security experts who will inspect a system and equipment piece by piece to find out places which increase the probability of a fire occurring. It has a preventive function.
