IDSs (Intrusion Detection Systems) and NGFWs (Next-Generation Firewalls) have different purposes. IDSs analyze network traffic to identify potential security threats, while NGFWs use a combination of firewall technology and intrusion prevention to block known threats and detect and prevent new and advanced attacks. Therefore, IDSs are designed to look for different threats than NGFWs.
