Question

Which of the following detects unauthorized user activities, attacks, and network compromises, alerts of the detected attacks, and takes action to prevent breaches? Unfiltered IDS/IPS installation Intrusion prevention system (IPS) Screened IDS/IPS solution Intrusion detection system (IDS)

Answer 1

The answer is IPS (Intrusion Prevention Systems)

The Intrusion Prevention Systems and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are two security technologies that secure networks and are very similar in how they work. The IDS detects unauthorized user activities, attacks, and network compromises, and also alerts. The IPS, on the other hand, as mentioned, is very similar to the IDS, except that in addition to detecting and alerting, it can also takes action to prevent breaches.
