An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) monitors and analyzes traffic to detect suspicious activity but does not sit in the traffic path, meaning it doesn’t affect latency. In contrast, an IPS is in-line and can introduce delay.
From Andrew Ramdayal’s guide:
“IDS monitors and alerts on malicious activity but does not block traffic, making it suitable for environments where low latency is critical.”
