from what i’ve read IPS monitors both the host and the network activity and HIPS monitors only the host. i know cis has a firewall but does it provide what a IPS provides along with the firewall?
if it doesn’t would cis strengthen it’s security by switching def+ from a HIPS to an IPS?
if it wouldn’t provide better security to switch to IPS, why wouldn’t it provide better security
I think that you’ll need to post a URL on what you’ve been reading, since as far as I know IPS (Intrusion Prevention Systems), also known as Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS), is merely a overall classification that includes; Network-based Intrusion Prevention (NIPS), Wireless Intrusion Prevention Systems (WIPS), Network Behavior Analysis (NBA) and Host-based Intrusion Prevention (HIPS).
