IMPLEMENTATION OF INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM (IDS) IN NETWORK SECURITY SYSTEMS

Abstract

Network security faces a wide range of risks including viruses, Trojans, worms, and attacks. A network firewall can only protect against external threats, not attacks from within your own network. The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a critical component of network security. and is a tool used to check activities that have occurred.  Security in home/office networks is an increasingly worrying problem as the number of devices that connect to them increases and sensitive and personal data is transferred over the network. In most government offices, devices connect to the Internet automatically and we do not usually configure adequate security, which makes the network vulnerable to attacks or intrusions. These devices are also often not designed with security in mind, making them prone to attacks. These attacks are increasingly common on organization networks. Therefore, it is essential that appropriate security measures are implemented to protect office networks. Implementing an intrusion detection system (IDS) on office network can be an effective solution to improve network security. The different information systems used by the main headquarters of the Office of the Trade Commissioner for Al-basrah must be available at all times, given that the systems are used by the users of the entity, and if a failure or intrusion occurs, it must be corrected immediately. to provide continuity to the services provided by the entity. The implementation of this work seeks to benefit the entity's employees, who, through the information assets they manage within the entity .
