Explanation

Statistical Detection: This model involves analyzing patterns, behaviors, or deviations from normal activities within a system using statistical models or machine learning algorithms. It defines what is considered normal or legitimate behavior based on statistical analysis of historical data over a period of time. It identifies anomalies by comparing current behavior against statistical norms or baselines. Rule-Based Detection: In contrast, rule-based detection involves the creation of explicit rules or conditions that define specific behaviors or patterns associated with known threats or anomalies. These rules are typically based on predefined IF/THEN statements. Rule-based detection relies on explicit conditions or signatures to identify known patterns of malicious behavior.
