Acronym for Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems—combined monitoring and blocking of network threats.
IDPS stands for Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems. See 'Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems' for the full definition.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
When compliance frameworks or questionnaires mention IDPS, they're asking about both detection and prevention capabilities. Your next-generation firewall or UTM appliance likely provides IDPS—verify it's configured appropriately.
