Hi Team!
In terms of security audit, we need to know if IPS includes IDS functionality.
Thanks in advance!!

The WG IPS prevents detected intrusions. There is no detect only option.

An IDS system does not prevent detected intrusions - it only notifies.

Thanks again Bruce! It makes sense, we'll explain as you mentioned above.
All the best!
