IPS Vs. IDS: Similar on the Surface, Polar Opposites Underneath: A common notion is that an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is nothing more than an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) deployed in-line with blocking capabilities. This paper explains why that notion is incorrect. Although IPS and IDS both examine traffic looking for attacks, there are critical differences. IPS and IDS both...; Tags: Intrusion Prevention System, Notion, Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention, Intrusion Detection, Network Security, Security, Networking; White papers 2007-07-01
