What is IPS/IDS systems?

Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are security technologies used to monitor network or system activities for malicious behavior or policy violations. IDS passively observes traffic and alerts administrators to potential threats, while IPS actively blocks or prevents detected intrusions. They are commonly used to protect networks and systems from a wide range of cyberattacks, including malware, exploits, and unauthorized access attempts.
