What is a major advantage of HIPS over HIDS?
- HIPS does not require host-based client software.
- HIPS consumes fewer system resources.
- HIPS can prevent intrusions.
- With HIPS, you don’t need to update signature files as often.
Explanation: A host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS) typically is implemented as inline or passive technology and sends logs to a management console only after the attack has occurred and the damage is done. A host-based intrusion prevention system (HIPS) typically is implemented inline and actually stops the attack, prevents damage, and blocks the propagation of worms and viruses. Active detection can be set to shut down the network connection or to stop impacted services automatically. Corrective action can be taken immediately. Cisco provides HIPS using the Cisco Security Agent software.
