Why does this matter operationally?
Resilience
The capacity of a connectivity system to maintain acceptable service levels when components fail, links degrade, or conditions change unexpectedly. Resilient architectures use redundancy, failover paths, and graceful degradation to keep operations running when ideal conditions cannot be guaranteed.

Intrusion Detection System
An IDS is a security system that monitors traffic or system activity and alerts when the observed behavior matches suspicious or unauthorized patterns.
Concept/Framework
IoT Security
The discipline of protecting connected devices, their communication, and the data they generate from compromise, addressing threat surfaces specific to IoT deployments — massive device populations, resource-constrained hardware, physical exposure,…
