What is a network intrusion detection system and how is it different from IPS?

A network intrusion detection system, or IDS, monitors network traffic for signs of attack and generates alerts without actively blocking. The key difference from IPS is that an IDS is passive: it tells you about suspicious activity but does not stop it. For organizations that prefer to investigate before blocking, or that operate environments where false positives have significant impact, IDS offers visibility without the operational risk of inline blocking.
