intrusion prevention system

An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is a security tool that monitors network traffic in real-time to detect and block potentially harmful activity before it causes harm. It acts like a vigilant gatekeeper, analyzing data for signs of cyber threats such as malware, hacking attempts, or unauthorized access. When suspicious activity is identified, the IPS can automatically prevent it from reaching your systems, helping to protect sensitive information and maintain network security. Essentially, it works proactively to stop cyber threats before they can do damage.
