Cyber threats are becoming more frequent and complex, putting every internet-connected device at risk. As a result, businesses are actively seeking stronger ways to protect themselves online.

Two commonly discussed security tools are HIDS (Host Intrusion Detection System) and Firewalls. But what exactly sets them apart?

A HIDS (Host-based Intrusion Detection System) is like a security camera, monitoring internal activity for suspicious behaviour. A firewall works like a security gate, blocking unwanted traffic from entering your network.

HIDS is caused by mutations in the MVK gene, located on chromosome 12. This gene encodes the enzyme mevalonate kinase, which is essential for the production of cholesterol and other important molecules. Mutations in the MVK gene lead to reduced enzyme activity and the accumulation of mevalonic acid and other intermediates, triggering inflammatory pathways.

HIDS follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, meaning that an affected individual inherits two mutated copies of the MVK gene, one from each parent. Carriers, who have one normal and one mutated copy of the gene, typically do not show symptoms but can pass the mutation to their offspring.
