Detailed explanation-1: -Wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS): This type of IPS simply scans a Wi-Fi network for unauthorized access and kicks unauthorized devices off the network.
Detailed explanation-2: -An intrusion prevention system (IPS) is a cybersecurity tool that examines network traffic to identify potential threats and automatically take action against them.
Detailed explanation-3: -An IDS is designed to only provide an alert about a potential incident, which enables a security operations center (SOC) analyst to investigate the event and determine whether it requires further action. An IPS, on the other hand, takes action itself to block the attempted intrusion or otherwise remediate the incident.
