Network-Based IDS (NIDS)/Network-Based IPS (NIPS): Network-Based Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) are security solutions that monitor network traffic to detect suspicious activity and potential security breaches. Upon detection, NIDS generates alerts for further investigation. Network-based intrusion Prevention Systems (NIPS) go a step further by actively blocking or mitigating the detected threats in real time, often integrating with the network’s firewall to prevent the spread of attacks.
