IPS

Intrusion Prevention System. A security device that monitors network traffic and actively blocks or drops malicious packets in real time. IPS sits inline with traffic (unlike IDS, which operates passively). It combines signature-based detection with anomaly detection to stop both known and unknown attacks.
