HIDS (Host-based Intrusion Detection System) - Doesn't block threats. Sanboxing - Technology used to isolate an application from other applications. Antimalware - Blocks malware. Firewall - Blocks and unblocks traffic. e.g. from / to specific IP or Por.

HIDS (unlike HIPS) does not take any further actions (other than reporting) when detecting an Emerging Threats on local system. That's why I think Host-based Firewall is the right answer.

I think this could be the host based firewall or a HIDS that drops it, and not only detects.
