IPS with Anomaly Detection

[alsayed]

Hello guys!

Anomaly-detection algorithm detectand stop zero-day threats

Does the above means that no attack may Happend when we have used the anomaly detection on the IPS?

Thanks

No, this does not mean that no attack can happen when the anomaly detection functinality is in use.  It does allow the IPS sensor to better determine the possible activity of a wormspread across your network.  The anomaly detection component lets the sensor  learn normal activity (baseline) and in turn send alerts or take dynamic response actions  for behavior that deviates from what it has learned.
