IDS 1
Network-Based Intrusion
Detection and Prevention
System (NIDPS)
The main reason for using
the network-based intrusion
detection and prevention
system is that it comes
with a lot of intrusion
detection capabilities and
can effectively analyze as
well as detect suspicious
network packets on a real-
time basis (Azeez et al.,
2020).
The network-based IDPS is
specially designed for
effectively analyzing the
packets at the network,
application, as well as
transport layer of the open
system interconnection
model (Imran, Alghamdi &
Ahmad, 2015). It is present
in the device or computer
system that is connected to
the other networks within
the organization. It is helpful
in monitoring the network
traffic and searches for
Antivirus software –
Antivirus software plays
an important role in
protecting computer
systems from harmful
viruses. It not only
detects the viruses but
also helps in removing
it from the computer
systems. It analyzes the
different components of
the system and identifies
any suspicious activities.

IDS 2
Wireless Intrusion
Detection and Prevention
System
The main reason why
organizations need to adopt
the WIDPS is that it is
effective in analyzing and
monitoring the different
intrusions over the wireless
network. It can easily
identify the different
problematic issues, such as
misconfigurations, policy
violations, and other

IDS 3
Network Behavior Analysis
(NBA)
NBA is effective in
identifying the DDoS
attacks as well as
monitoring packets on the
TCP/IP and transport layer.
It also has the ability to
identify the potential
threats that may arise as a
result of DDoS, policy
violations, and malware.
Network behavior analysis is
yet another type of NIDPS.
NBA has the potential to
analyze as well as monitor
the network traffic. It helps
the organization in detecting
the unusual activities that
may arise as a result of
DDoS attacks, policy
violations, and malware
