Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An HIDPS (Host Intrusion Detection and Prevention System) is designed to monitor the logs generated by the operating system and applications running on a host, looking for signs of intrusion or compromise. They do not typically sniff packets on the network or track misuse by external users. While it is possible that centralized configurations could affect host performance, this is not a defining characteristic of an HIDPS.
