Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct answer:
IPS is correct. An intrusion prevention system (IPS) works in much the same way as an IDS, with the major difference being the reactive nature of an IPS. It can immediately and automatically stop and prevent attacks as they occur, rather than sitting passively and just alerting personnel of possible issues.
Incorrect answers:
All other answers choices are incorrect.
