An HIDPS (Host-based Intrusion Detection System) is designed to monitor and analyze the internals of a computing system (like system calls, file-system accesses, and system responses) as well as the network packets on its network interfaces. This allows it to detect attacks that might not be visible at the network level, which is what an NIDPS (Network Intrusion Detection System) monitors. An NIDPS analyzes network traffic for signs of possible incidents, violations, and imminent threats, but it might not catch attacks that do not have a network footprint or are specifically tailored to exploit a host's vulnerabilities.
