When it comes to traditional cybersecurity strategies, intrusion detection systems (IDS) hold a prominent role to make it more difficult for adversaries to successfully conduct their campaigns.

However, today’s constantly changing attack surface creates security challenges that tools like IDS can no longer address. This white paper demonstrates the reasons why IDS is no longer effective in 9 main ways:

• IDS is incapable of responding to attacks
• IDS creates bottlenecks in cloud-based infrastructures
• IDS can’t auto-scale
