Explanation

A Network Intrusion Prevention System (NIPS) sits inline with network traffic and actively blocks or stops malicious traffic in real time. This distinguishes it from detection-only systems. NIDS (Network Intrusion Detection System) monitors and alerts on suspicious network traffic but does not block it. HIPS (Host-based Intrusion Prevention System) prevents intrusions on an individual host, not the broader network. HIDS (Host-based Intrusion Detection System) only detects on a single host and cannot stop network-level intrusions.
