IPS
Intrusion Prevention System — A network security tool that monitors traffic for malicious activity and automatically takes action to block or reject it, extending an IDS's passive detection into active prevention. IPS devices are typically deployed inline, directly in the traffic path, so they can drop malicious packets before they reach their target.
