A network
intrusion protection system (NIPS) is an umbrella term for a combination of
hardware and software systems that protect computer networks from unauthorized access
and malicious activity.
NIPS hardware may
consist of a dedicated Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) device, an
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), or a combination of the two such as an
Intrusion Prevention and Detection System (IPDS). Note that while an NIDS can
only detect intrusions, an IPS can pro-actively stop an attack by following
established rules, such as changing firewall settings, blocking particular
Internet protocol (IP) addresses or dropping certain packets entirely. The
software components of an NIPS consists of various firewall, sniffer and
antivirus tools in addition to dashboards and other data visualization tools.
