HIPS

A host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) is a security solution type that is installed on individual hosts (servers or endpoints) to monitor and analyze their activity for signs of malicious behavior.

HIPS solutions are typically installed as software agents on individual hosts and can detect and prevent a wide range of host-based attacks, including malware infections, privilege escalation attacks, unauthorized access, and data theft. HIPS solutions can also detect and prevent attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in operating systems and applications. These systems, such as FortiEDR, can even block zero-day attacks using their machine learning next generation antivirus.
