Definition of Intrusion protection software

Intrusion protection software is type of security software that protects computers, servers or entire computer networks against attacks and intrusion. You can use the software to monitor systems and unusual network activity. If the detection system suspects a potential security breach, it can generate an alert, such as an email alert, based on the type of activity it has identified.

There are several types of such cyber security software:

  • IMS (intrusion monitoring software) - software for passive monitoring of intrusions
  • IDS (Intrusion detection software) - software for active detection of intrusions
  • IPS (Intrusion Prevention Software) is software for active intrusion prevention
