Which technology is designed to prevent security breaches from happening in the first place?

Network Firewall and Intrusion Prevention technologies are designed to prevent security breaches

from happening in the first place by creating a protective barrier and actively monitoring network

traffic for potential threats. Firewalls restrict unauthorized access, while Intrusion Prevention

Systems (IPS) detect and block malicious activities in real-time. Together, they form a proactive

defense to stop attacks before they penetrate the network.

Symantec Endpoint Security Documentation supports the role of firewalls and IPS as front-line

defenses that prevent many types of security breaches, providing crucial protection at the network

level.
