Intrusion detection on macOS

We are a 100% macOS shop.

I see that the I can enable the firewall section/module for a policy, and there is a section for IDS, but there is a curious note:

"Intrusion Detection System (IDS) policy settings only apply to Endpoint Security (legacy security agent). Bitdefender Endpoint Security Tools agent integrates Host-Based Intrusion Detection System capabilities in its Advanced Threat Control (ATC) module."

1) I don't understand what that means

2) When I create a reconfigure client task, I see that firewall is not an option for macOS

My question: Is IDS available for macOS clients?
