Intrusion prevention is the process of performing intrusion detection and attempting to stop detected possible incidents. Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS) are primarily focused on identifying possible incidents, logging information about them, attempting to stop them, and reporting them to security administrators.
