How to Upgrade Your IDS Strategy and Protect Networks Today

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are crucial for defending against cyberattacks but face challenges like unbalanced datasets, low detection rates, and poor response times. This paper addresses common issues such as fragmentation, low-bandwidth threats, and obscurity and suggests ways to enhance network security by upgrading IDS with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). The utilization of Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW), focuses on multiple intrusion detection approaches, integration of IDS and IPS under SIEM, and monitoring network security in cloud-based infrastructures are all recommended strategies for increasing the effectiveness of IDS.
