ABSTRACT

An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a critical component of modern


network security. It is designed to monitor network traffic and identify potential
security threats, including unauthorized access, misuse, or other malicious
activities. IDSs work by analysing network traffic and comparing it against a
database of known attack signatures or behaviour patterns. They can be
deployed at various points in a network and can generate alerts or take
automated actions to respond to threats. There are two main types of IDSs:
signature-based and behaviour-based. Signature-based IDSs use a database of
known attack patterns to identify threats, while behaviour-based IDSs use
machine learning and other techniques to analyse network traffic and detect
anomalies. IDSs can be deployed as standalone appliances or integrated into
existing security architectures to provide real-time threat intelligence and
response capabilities. IDSs are essential tools for protecting networks from a
wide range of threats, including malware infections, network breaches, and
insider attacks. However, they can also generate false positives, which can be
time-consuming to investigate, and they require ongoing maintenance and
updates to remain effective against evolving threats. Regular testing and
evaluation of the IDS is important to ensure it is providing adequate protection
against emerging threats. In addition to generating alerts, IDSs can also take
automated actions to respond to threats. However, these automated responses
should be carefully configured and tested to avoid disrupting legitimate traffic
or causing other unintended consequences.
