Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is a security technology designed to detect and prevent malicious network traffic from entering a network or system. It is frequently implemented as a piece of hardware or software that stands between the internal network and the Internet, monitoring all incoming data and taking appropriate action to prohibit any that is found to be harmful or illegal. Network traffic is examined in real-time by an IPS, which then compares it to a set of established rules or signatures. The IPS will take steps to restrict the traffic or notify security staff if it corresponds to a known danger. Additionally, behavioral analysis may be used by IPS systems to find and stop previously unidentified threats that do not match any known signatures.

Honeypot: A honeypot is a fake network or system used to lure attackers and learn more about their tactics and behavior. In order to make them a desirable target for attackers, honeypots are often built with purposefully lax security measures. The system records all of an attacker's interactions with a Honeypot, including any attempted attacks or exploits. This data can be used to spot emerging dangers and create defenses against them so that similar assaults won't succeed in the future.
