WHITE PAPER - There is some confusion in the marketplace about intrusion-security systems. Intrusion Detection Systems and Intrusion Prevention Systems have similar names and tend to get lumped together into a single security category: Intrusion Detection and Prevention. But the capabilities and underlying design of these systems couldn't be more different.
