IDS & IDP

IDS and IPS are intelligence modules (either hardware, software or virtual instances) that are often incorporated into firewalls, although they can be standalone appliances communicating with a firewall.

An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a device or application that analyses whole packets, both header and payload, looking for known events. When a known event is detected a log message is generated detailing the event.

An Intrusion Prevention System is a device or application that analyses whole packets, both header and payload, looking for known events. When a known event is detected the packet is rejected.
