Intrusion Prevention System
Intrusion Prevention System
An intrusion prevention system is any device which exercises access control to protect computers from exploitation. "Intrusion prevention" technology is considered by some to be an extension of intrusion detection (IDS) technology, but it is actually another form of access control, like an application layer firewall.
