Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) are vital tools for protecting networks from cyber threats.
With the increasing complexity of attacks
the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in these systems has become essential to enhance detection and
response effectiveness.

Literature Review :
1 Traditional Anti-Intrusion Systems
Traditional NIDS primarily utilize signature-based detection methods, which rely on predefined attack patterns to
identify intrusions. While these systems can effectively detect known threats, they struggle with new or evolving attack
vectors, resulting in high false negative rates. For instance, Sethi et al. (2018) discuss the limitations of signaturebased
systems in dynamic environments, highlighting the need for more adaptive approaches
The integration of machine learning techniques into NIDS has significantly improved detection
capabilities. Machine learning algorithms analyze network traffic patterns to identify anomalies
indicative of potential intrusions. Research by Ahmed et al. (2016) demonstrates that machine
learning models can achieve higher detection rates and lower false positives compared to traditional
methods. However, challenges such as the quality of training data and feature selection remain
prevalent (Bansal & Kumar, 2021)

3 Intelligent and Adaptive NIDS
Intelligent and adaptive NIDS represent the cutting edge of intrusion detection technology.
These systems leverage real-time data and machine learning to continuously adapt their
detection mechanisms based on emerging threats and user behavior. Dhanabal and Kumar
(2020) highlight that such systems not only improve detection rates but also enhance
response times to attacks. Nonetheless, the use of adaptive systems raises concerns
regarding data privacy and ethical implications (Zarpelão et al., 2017).
