Answer)
An intrusion is an unauthorized activity that can be done on a computer or a computer network. Whereas attacks are the intrusions which succeed, and thus attacks represent the successful and attempted intrusions. The attacks can originate from the inside of the network or it can occur from the outside of the network. Thus intrusions are the activities that can be done and attempted by the attackers, hackers, and insiders which can lead to attacks on the systems and network resources. Thus intrusions may or may not lead to the attacks.
