@jwofnell good question! Yes, it is slightly different. Here is an example of both.
Prevent = stop before something happens.
Ward off = protect from something that is happening or about to happen.
“The bodyguard is preventing them from stealing by watching them closely.”
“The bodyguard tried to ward off the robbers by distracting them, but it was too late.”
They are very similar!
