Correct arrangement

ensures protection of individual devices
monitors host for suspicious activity
detects intrusion attempts
monitors incoming traffic and connections

Explanation

The correct arrangement maps security functions to their appropriate system types: endpoint security ensures protection of individual devices and monitors the host for suspicious activity (host-based functions), while IDS/IPS detects intrusion attempts and monitors incoming traffic and connections (network-based functions). Endpoint/host-based security focuses on the device itself, whereas network-based systems analyze traffic flows and connection patterns at the network perimeter or segments.
