An organization is considering deploying an intrusion prevention system $($IPS$)$ to enhance its network security. How does an IPS differ from an intrusion detection system $($IDS$)$ in its approach to security threats?

An IPS only monitors network traffic for suspicious activity, while an IDS can also take actions to block threats

An IPS focuses on signature$-$based detection, while an IDS can also use anomaly$-$based detection

An IPS is a software$-$based solution, while an IDS can be hardware or software$-$based.

An IPS is deployed at the network perimeter, while an IDS can be deployed within the network
