What is a comparison between rule-based and statistical detection?

The correct answer is B. Statistical uses the probability approach while rule-based is based on measured data. Rule-Based Detection: Relies on predefined rules or signatures that identify known patterns or characteristics of attacks or threats. It involves a set of explicit rules that detect specific patterns or behaviors within the data. These rules are typically based on known attack…

Explanation

Rule-Based Detection: Relies on predefined rules or signatures that identify known patterns or characteristics of attacks or threats. It involves a set of explicit rules that detect specific patterns or behaviors within the data. These rules are typically based on known attack patterns, signatures, or indicators of compromise (IoCs) and are static in nature. Statistical Detection: Utilizes statistical models or algorithms to analyze patterns in data and identify anomalies or deviations from normal behavior. It involves analyzing data for unusual patterns or deviations from expected behavior based on statistical models, behavioral baselines, or machine learning algorithms.
