- Traditional IDS: While it can detect known threats and attack patterns in advance, traditional IDS will
ignore those names that do not match existing names. Compare new and opposition. Reliance on static
rules and signatures limits the detection accuracy and scope of traditional IDS.
- Machine Learning Based IDS: ML based IDS excels at leveraging advanced anomaly detection and
pattern recognition techniques to detect new and previously unseen attacks. Machine learning-based
IDS can improve detection accuracy and service by learning from different data and adapting to
threats, thus reducing the risk of zero-day attacks and threats.
