Intrusion Detection and Prevention System: Issues and Challenges

Abstract

In In spite of the tremendous growth of technologies in computer networking and information technology, still we lack in preventing our resources from theft/attacks. This problem is very big as far as industry/ companies are concerned. As maximum of the organizations are facing an increasing number of threats every day in the form of viruses and attack etc. Since many different mechanisms were opted by organizations in the form of intrusion detection and prevention system to protect its organizations for these kinds of attacks, still there are many security breaches in every organization. In order to understand the security risks and IDPS, we will first survey about the common security breaches and then after discuss what are different opportunities and challenges in this particular field. In this paper we made a survey on the overall progress of intrusion detection systems. We survey the existing types, techniques and architectures of Intrusion Detection Systems in the literature. Finally we outline the present research challenges and issue.
