The document discusses the benefits and risks of using public cloud computing, including identity management, security, and data lock-in issues. It then provides recommendations for selecting apps for the public cloud and implementing additional security measures. It defines intrusion detection systems (IDS) as tools that monitor network traffic for suspicious activity and alert administrators. IDS can be host-based or network-based, using signatures, alerts, and logs to detect threats while minimizing false alarms.
