What is Intrusion Prevention System in network security? |
|
Answer» An intrusion protection system (IPS) is a network security device (either hardware or software) that monitors a network for illegal activity and blocks, blocks, or drops it if it occurs, in addition to reporting it. An IDS, which merely detects malicious activity without taking action, is more advanced than an intrusion prevention system (IPS). A next-generation firewall (NGFW) or unified threat management (UTM) solution may include an intrusion prevention system (IPS). Strong enough to examine a large volume of traffic without slowing down network performance, they are amongst the most common network security solutions. |
