Question
George is a senior security analyst working for a state agency in Florida. His state's congress just passed a bill mandating every state agency to undergo a security audit annually. After learning what will be required, George needs to implement an IDS as soon as possible before the first audit occurs. The state bill requires that an IDS with a "time- based induction machine" be used. What IDS feature must George implement to meet this requirement?

Explanation
A 'time-based induction machine' describes a system that continuously observes behavior over time and uses inductive reasoning to identify deviations from the learned norm in real-time. Real-time anomaly detection fits this description precisely: it builds a dynamic baseline of normal network or system behavior over time and immediately flags deviations as potential threats as they occur. Unlike signature-based detection (which only matches known attack patterns) or static pattern matching, real-time anomaly detection can identify novel, previously unseen attacks. The 'time-based' aspect reflects that the system's model is continuously updated and that detections are triggered in real-time rather than through batch processing or static rule lookups.
