How to Detect Attacks

The video tutorial explains zero day attacks, which occur when hackers exploit software vulnerabilities before they are patched. It highlights the importance of rapid network response to such attacks and the challenges posed by DDoS attacks, which involve numerous zombie hosts. The tutorial emphasizes the need for real-time detection and response systems, including firewalls, intrusion prevention, and advanced malware detection linked to global threat centers. It also discusses the necessity of constant network monitoring to protect against advanced persistent threats that can steal data over long periods.
