An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) or Intrusion Detection Prevention System (IDPS), is a technology that allows observing a network to detect any malicious activity that tries to exploit a known vulnerability.
The main function of an Intrusion Prevention System is to identify any suspicious activity and detect and allow (IDS) or prevent (IPS) the threat. It should be noted that the success of implementing this type of technology goes hand in hand with having our CyberSOC personnel who attend the events or alert that this type of systems generate for subsequent monitoring and decision making.
