Define the term "intrusion" and discuss the usual intent behind an intrusion event.

What will be an ideal response?


An intrusion is a type of attack on information assets in which the instigator attempts to gain unauthorized entry into a system or network or disrupt the normal operations of a system or network. Whether or not this is done with the intent to steal or do harm, it remains outside the intended use of the system or network. Even when such attacks are automated or self-propagating, as in the case of viruses and distributed denial-of-service attacks, they are almost always instigated by an individual whose purpose is to harm an organization.
