See our KB on Conference Room Conflicts and Resolutions if you do see conflicts after upgrading.

Therefore, review existing IDS Rules post-upgrade so modifications can be made, if desired.

In addition, Password Brute Force by IP/Email and Denial of Service (DoS) will now use one rule for all services/protocols.)
