Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): A system that not only detects potential security breaches but also takes proactive countermeasures. These systems can automatically block or prevent detected malicious activities, helping to maintain the integrity and security of the network. Their methods can include denying network traffic, redirecting malicious activities, and providing reports of detected threats.
