The purpose of the IDS (Intrusion Detection System) is to monitor network traffic for suspicious activities and potential threats, alerting administrators when it detects unusual or malicious behavior.
The purpose of the IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) is to monitor network traffic for suspicious activities and take immediate action to block or prevent malicious activities from causing harm to the system.
We need IDS to provide an additional layer of security by detecting and alerting administrators to potential threats in real time, allowing for prompt investigation and response to prevent damage or data breaches.
The primary purpose of intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) is to offer a comprehensive security solution that continuously monitors network traffic, detects potential threats, and takes proactive measures to prevent unauthorized access or attacks on the network.
