NIPS for sure. This is the system that's supposed to be the first line of defense against network attacks. Gotta keep those hackers out!

Ha! I bet the answer is NIPS. Sounds like something straight out of a spy movie - 'Network Intrusion Prevention System'! Gotta love these cybersecurity acronyms.

Hmm, I'm torn between NIPS and NIDS. Both deal with network security, but I think NIPS is more focused on actively blocking threats, right?
