Situational awareness and ips difference

Here are their differences:

1, situational awareness refers to the collection, analysis and processing of various information in the network, real-time grasp of the network status and security risks, and make the appropriate response and decision-making, which can help administrators to find abnormal behavior, attack threats or other security issues in a timely manner and take appropriate measures to deal with them, so as to improve the security of the network.

2. While IPS is an active defense security technology designed to prevent network attacks by monitoring network traffic, identifying and intercepting malicious traffic, IPS will detect incoming and outgoing network data streams to find known attack signatures or abnormal behavior and stop the harm caused by these attacks or behaviors. Unlike traditional Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs), IPS is able to proactively intercept and block malicious traffic to avoid attacks from damaging the network.
