Defending the Digital Frontier: IDPS and the Battle Against Cyber Threat

Abstract

The continuous advancement in technology constantly demands stronger and more secure systems. Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IPS) are crucial in safeguarding digital infrastructures, combining Network-Based, Wireless-Based, and Host-Based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) to reinforce network security. This multifaceted approach enhances the system's ability to examine incoming data and network traffic, significantly reducing the risk of intrusion. IPS employs various techniques for detecting malicious activities. Our proposed IPS integrates both anomaly-based and signature-based analysis approaches. Signature-based analysis identifies intrusions by matching collected data with predefined signatures using rule-based methods. In contrast, anomaly-based analysis compares current activities to a baseline of normal behavior, utilizing distance-based methods to detect deviations effectively. Our comprehensive prevention system includes anti-virus software, Deep Packet Inspection, and Quarantine, working together synergistically to detect and thwart malicious activities. Even when concealed, the IPS remains a vigilant guardian, ensuring the integrity of your digital ecosystem. This overview provides insight into the complex terminologies and concepts within Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems, highlighting their pivotal role in bolstering cybersecurity within an ever-evolving technological landscape.
