Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS)
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) are vital components of internet security designed to detect and prevent unauthorized access to a network. An IDS monitors network traffic for suspicious activity or known attack patterns and generates alerts when such activity is detected. Meanwhile, an IPS not only detects potential threats but also actively takes steps to block or mitigate those threats in real-time. IDS/IPS solutions utilize signature-based detection, anomaly-based detection, and behavior-based detection techniques to identify various types of attacks, from malware to zero-day vulnerabilities.
