What is an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and how does it work?

An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is a network security tool designed to detect and block malicious activity in real time. It continuously monitors network traffic, analyzing data packets for suspicious behavior or known attack patterns.

When a threat is identified, the IPS can automatically take action to prevent damage. They might take steps such as dropping malicious packets, blocking IP addresses, or resetting connections.

IPS solutions use techniques like signature-based detection, anomaly analysis, and behavioral monitoring to safeguard systems against exploits, malware, and unauthorized access. This makes them a key defense layer in modern cybersecurity architectures.
