Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS)

A Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) is a software application installed on a single host (like a computer or server) that monitors the activities taking place on that host. It analyzes events for malicious or suspicious behavior, based on predefined rules and signatures, and takes action to block or mitigate threats targeting that specific system.
