advantages

- detect anomalies

- information for new security rules

disadvantages

- false alarms

Explanation:

Advantages

- With an IDS we can check and track every attack or detect anomalies even when you don't know about these behaviors.

- When an IDS detects anomalies, the system generates information about these behaviors and you can create new rules for these attacks.

Disadvantages

- When we use an IDS, we could receive false alarms because we cannot predict every behavior.
