IPS
Intrusion Prevention System
An IPS sits inline on the network and actively blocks traffic that matches known attack signatures or anomalous patterns. Unlike an IDS, an IPS takes automated action to drop or reject malicious packets before they reach their target.
Como é usado em cibersegurança
Security engineers position IPS devices at network boundaries to block exploit attempts and known malware traffic. SOC analysts monitor IPS logs for blocked threats and investigate patterns that suggest targeted attacks. Security architects specify IPS placement as part of defense-in-depth network designs.
