IDS/IPS (Intrusion Detection/Prevention System)

An IDS (Intrusion Detection System) and IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) are security tools that protect computer networks from unauthorized or malicious activity. An IDS monitors network traffic in real-time, detecting possible threats and alerting administrators when suspicious behavior occurs. An IPS goes a step further by not only detecting threats but also actively blocking or stopping malicious activities as they happen. Together, they help safeguard sensitive data and maintain network integrity by identifying and preventing cyber attacks in a timely and effective manner.
